The funny thing is I've rented pontoon boats with 115 Yamaha's that have been setting for a week or more and they kick right over and idle with no problems and I was hoping my boat would respond like that. Guess I got one with numerous quorps.

you will have to purchase a set of "earphones" that attach to the end of the garden hose and then slips over the water intake vents on the lower unit. make sure the water is turned on before starting and when the motor starts to run that the motor "pees" out the tattletaleright near the base. Older motors with more hours on them will usually start and idle easier because everything loosens up and "seats" in not quit so stiff. oh and don't try to "run" the motor in gear on the ears..... just a low idle.
