Forgive my naive question, but can an Atomic 4 by started while a boat is on the hard? I'm assuming they are water cooled, which presents a problem while on the hard. But is there a method of attaching a water hose to run test it out?

I'm considering the purchase of a used boat with an A4 that hasn't been run in 3-4 years. Among many other potential issues, I'm concerned about the A4's condition. Before I spend the money on launching/sea trialing the boat, I'd love to know if the A4 runs.

Thanks guys! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, you've just made me more apprehensive then ever to even consider this boat with an A4 that's been sitting for a few years. Thanks Val!

Seriously, thanks for the info. Sounds like a lot of work for me as a potential buyer just to see if she'll fire up.
