A4 has been sitting in the desert for 12 years

Hello all!

I recently got my first boat, a Cal 2-27 with its original Atomic 4. The boat was sailed in freshwater for years before I got it, but it has spent the last 12 years sitting on a trailer in the PO's backyard in Arizona. The engine hasn't been run in all that time. My project for the winter is to get it running again. I don't know a lot about the condition of the engine, but I am anticipating it will need a pretty thorough overhaul. So my question is, what sort of problems can I expect an A4 that has been sitting in the Arizona heat for 12 years to have? I am completely new to gas engines, and I know about as much about the engine in question as you all do now, so really I'm wondering, where should I start??

Any and all help is very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Laura
