Thank you to Bob D & Norm R for the redirect to the right forum, I suppose I will figure it out soon,  Being new to all this, the website, boating and all!

Boatus site has much basic info. I need, very helpful to me. I also think I may have found some folks near me who may lend a hand and I will take the boating safety course.

I got her on ebay, from a boat shop in NH. who had been caring for her. They say the engine runs good, out-drive is solid and is in very good condition for the year and was winterized.

Just doing some discovery for now, have removed some teak step plates for cleaning and refinishing ( ask a expert on site) can't hardly wait to have her summerized, see if she is running OK, take her to the water!  I know! I know! Take my time,  slow down, be patient!

OK!  About how many Marathon owners on here?  Any owners manuals? I would be most appreciative of any and all help!

Thanks,

Bill Downeast
