I would check a few things BEFORE starting it.
"winterize" means different thing to different people :-(

1. the raw water pump impeller is probably rock solid and will tear itself up sending rubber pieces into the heat exchanger. I have an old one in good shape you can borrow.

2. the carb is a simple design, open it up clean out any gunk since it probably had dried up gas in it.

3 open the tilt mechanism and make sure no water got in there and rusted any parts. It is a very expensive part, fill it with new grease.

4 is there still oil in the outdrive? dipstick is right on top, large headed screw.

bring it down here and I'll test drive it for you!

Mine is a 1983 Renkin AQ131c/270 20 cuddy cabin
