I was directed to become a member here where all the "experts" are I just purchased a 1975 Ranger 29 with, of coarse, and atomic 4 engine. This is my first boat so I am still learning about it. The engine seems to run pretty well right now, but I want to do the right thing. I would like to do some some basic preventative maintenance/tune up and make sure everything is where it should be. I have the Moyer service manual which came with the boat and I am in the process of reading through it. I thought I would ask any advice for what to start with. I plan to change oil, plugs, etc. BUT, I am not even sure where the drain plug is located OR what the best way to drain oil on a boat would be.
Also, an inventory on your most used tools and where/how you store them would also be helpful. Plus, extra parts that seem to be handy to keep onboard.
From what I hear these are pretty basic engines to work on and I am fairly competent, but if there is anyone locally in the Tacoma area I would love some beginner basics. Thanks to everyone in advance.
