    Mercruiser 120 convert to automotive.

    no, there is no special bolt pattern. the merc 2.5 is the same as a Hyster fork lift 2.5 which is the same as a 1962 Chevy II 2.5. other than the big gap in lobe angles, small duration on the cam, the non-vacuum advance and the wet exhaust. its basically a small truck motor.

    Fixing Dings and Dents

    the boat has been either repainted or a different color gel applied at some point. so matching may or may not happen. regarding the gouges and chips, thicken gel will work. that crack should be investigated further.

    yes, actually more. however the solenoids you need to test have the buss bar connecting them together but do not assume its the solenoids as there could be many many reasons. start with measuring voltage.
