Hello All.
I'm a new owner of a 1984 S2 9.2C, located in Long Island, New York. Unfortunately I have very little experience with marine engines (or any engines for that matter - my S2 is equipped with an 18hp yanmar) and am having some difficulty figuring out what I'm doing. When I turned the key to start the engine a red warning light came on that said something to the effect "water press." I'm not sure what that means, if there is a water pump not working, or if I the seacock is still closed (I opened what I believe to be the seacock, but I'm really not sure since nothing is labeled)? If anyone knows what that warning means, or could give me a step by step to starting the boat up after it has been winterized in the water, then I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm completely new to all of this, so any advice helps a lot.
Thank you!
