    Mercruiser 120 Non-Start Condition - Wiring?

    Before I get blasted, yes, I know this is a points and condenser system. I will be upgrading to electronic ignition soon enough. What I'm wonder at this point are these two, seemingly, ground wires and where they go. The ring connector has clearly been screwed down at some point but I'll be...

    1978 Sea Sprite Sea Bird II Under Consideration

    A local person has a 1978 Sea Sprite with a 1990 Mercury Bigfoot for sale for $1,000 obo. I went to look at it tonight and everything appears to be in good shape but I cannot seem to locate much info on this boat online, hence, the reason I'm here asking for an expert opinion. The floor is...

    Well, since the last boat fell through (which is fine because it had its own set of problems I didn't want to mess with), I have found a '78 Bayliner Runaway which seems to be in very good condition. The transom and floor seem solid. The only problem is the interior has been removed - no carpet...

    1976 Mercury Stalls in Water

    I have the opportunity to buy a '79 Glastron with a '76 Mercury 85HP motor. This would be my first boat and I expect a bit of work with it. The seller says the engine runs fine on land, stalls in the water. Everything I've read online says this is a common problem with setting the idle and...
