Post New motor what now?
Ok yall I just got a used 1644 GD boat with a 27 hp GD longtail with about 140 hours on it. My question is what do yall recommend doing as far as servicing a newly purchased used longtail. What are some things that I should be looking for? I've never run a longtail before only surface drive type motors so any advice there would be greatly appreciated as well?

Do normal maintenance. Change oil and probably the fuel filter and you should be good to go if the engine runs good as is.

Bout 2 pumps o grease every 4 hours run time in her tail...

One pump in her U joint every 50 hours or each season...

Feed it good gas and oil...

Run it hard and that's bout all ya gotta do...

It's a Go Devil - it don' need no wrenchin' - just runnin'...
