    Sea ray sundeck 240 won’t rev passed 2000rpm

    Loose wire to kill switch would kill motor. It's not the kill switch if it runs at all However not knowing the drive is in gear will limit RPM to 2000 or 3000 rpm Low fuel pressure will limit the RPM Low compression will limit the RPM.

    Switch doesn't need ground. Lights do. Two lights or 10 lights are wired in parallel

    Not getting Spark on '86 3.0l Alpha 1

    If you didn't file the points, start there. Always set dwell with a meter . If the meter isn't reading, the coil isn't charging and you don't have spark.

    Rudder posts weeping water. Is it a big deal to fix or adjust?

    Check if you can tighten the stuffing box packing gland Most likely a Buck Algonquin. If you need new packing, it's cheap. Many have a grease zerk as well Agree with Kenny, if you hit something, that damage would not be an easy fix
