WOW.,7 years thats a long time,since its been sitting that long,and you want to salt water fish, you would be better off giving it to a good boat yard and have them go through it top to bottom.if you have a built in tank,the gas is most likly junk,even a fuel stabilizer wouldnt last that long,so it is in need of pumping out and disposed of properly,the carbs should be taken apart and cleaned and readjusted,spark plugs replaced,wireing checked,water pump replace.,change lower end oil
one other thing if you do have a built in tank,i am not sure if cali has ethenol fuel.but if it does check to see if yours is fiberglass,if so that will need to be replaced aswell because the new gas will eat the reisin in the fiberglass and screw up the motor.
i am sorry for the bad news,but this is safer in the long run,it sucks breaking down out in the ocean,and paying to get towed in
