I'm restoring a 1987 16' Astroglass with a 100 hp 2 stroke Mariner engine.  It has been sitting since 2008.  I know that before attempting to start engines that have set a long time, it is recommended to shoot a lubricant in each cylinder to help with movement.  Is there something similar I should do before trying to move the engine up or down with the power trim?  I'm wondering if I should polish the hydraulic piston to prevent oxidation from causing issues.
