Rick, while you are at it make sure you check the lower unit oil as to make sure it is free of water. (just in case you have a leaking seal). Also, run the engine for a moment and spray plenty of engine fogging oil (make sure you use 4 stroke fogging oil and not two stroke fogging oil). Make sure you use plenty of "Ring Free" or Fogging oil with it already included ESPECIALLY if you have a Yamaha, or Mercury 70-95hp (or some 115hp) as they are mechanically the same and love to get sticky rings. If you don't do this you will take years off of the life of your outboard. The new 4-stroke technology is very neat, but they do like good maintanance. This post is not intended to be a smart comment, so I hope no-one takes it that way. Just shared information.
