Outboard Ready

The outboard cleaned up well.  I removed all of the corrosion and primed with a zinc chromate primer.  Next I painted the primed areas with a match of the outboard paint.  I replaced the spark plugs, the cavitation plate zinc, and the charging fuse which was blown.  I changed the gear oil and lubed all zerk fittings.  I have not started the outboard yet.  I need to buy a fuel tank and some 2 stroke oil and I think I'll be good to go.
The outboard looks new now and the teak mount is close as well.  I hope it runs good.

Power plant, check.

Another post coming soon.
