Haven't found this in archive; looking for helpful hints on putting my Universal MX25 back into service after 3 years on the hard. It was stored (10/2011) with antifreeze in the engine; full tank of diesel with stabilizer. Looking to get her ready for launch this year and wondering if there's special considerations and steps to be taken given the long, long lay-up.

Thom, tons of M25 series engine info here on our Catalina 34 website:

Assure your coolant and oil levels are OK, and the alternator belt is the proper tightness, then pull up the stop lever, turn her over a few times to move the oil around, push in the stop lever and start her up.
Good luck.
