Pull all the plugs and open the throttle so you don't have a pressure drop through the carb/throttle body. I always crank motor with the ignition off, i.e., leave ignition key off, and just use a remote starter switch to connect battery cable at solenoid to the small terminal that actuates solenoid.

There are other concerns that have been mentioned. One of the things I like about running premix is you are almost fogging the motah at idle on the muffs. All of your gaskets and seals are dry now. Rings, cylinders, and roller bearings as well. Dry is unhappy and possibly rusty as well. Get a good atomizing spray bottle and open the carbs. Drop the trailer tongue and tilt the motah all the way up. Fill the bottle with marvel and crank the motah. Shoot the intakes for a good while with no spark. Get her good and wet. Let her sit so the gaskets can swell and loosen any corrosion to soften the effects of hibernation.

I don`t sleep with my boat. Sometimes inside her though. Sometimes it`s just phone sex.
Vhf of course. We all have sordid thoughts which involve fiberglass and sex. I`ll take sand anytime over fiberglass.

Look at Bones, he has maybe 10 children from different mothers. If DCF would wake up and crunch numbers, they would find that a boat can support a house, but houses have a hard time supporting boats.
