Hello all. I recently picked up a 69 Starcraft 16' SS with a 75hp mariner 3cyl. I am trying to find a manual for it. It fires up and idles but does not pee. It has not been on the water yet. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hello and welcome to iboats.

From the web pages I looked at, the 75 wasn'[t made between 77 and 84. Can you post the serial #? And are you sure it's not an inline 4? Count the spark plug wires.

Thanks, Craig

My mistake. It is indeed a 4 cyl. #A117289. The title does say 79' though.
Thanks

Serial # shows it as a 1985. 1984 is when Mercury went to your type of transom mount with integrated power trim/tilt. Prior to 1980 the electrical connection was on the side of the cowling instead of through the front above the fuel connection.

HTH, Craig
