Default 525's after winter storage?

Any tips on starting my 525's after winter storage? On my other boats I stored them in my own warehouse as they were trailerable. I would crank them just a little every month or so just to reposition the valve springs. This boat (Formula 400SS) is in storage and batteries are disconnected and it has sat since november. Should I just start them and let them idle or is there something else I should do?

(I think I will put pre-lubers on them this year too)

So they don't start prior to oil entering the important areas, you may want to remove your kill switch lanyards and crank the engines a little. My kill switches on my 525 efi's will allow this.

I will have to try that, I am not sure if it cranks or not with the lanyards pulled. Thanks
