i have a 88 bayliner capri 15ft... the motoer model is 507x8d

worked the one time i used it last sumer tried to start it today and it WILL NOT KICK ON! all it does is turn over and want to start but it wont really kick on and run! i thought it was the rectifier so because the old one was cracked so i bought a brand new one and put it in and still didnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know if its getting spark becuase these are new spark plugs that i bought last year. I DONT KNOW THE GAP SIZE i looked online and found them but i dont know if there right. I DONT KNOW THE GAS AND OIL MIX. i need all the help possible I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BOATS!!!:confused::facepalm:

and also i noticed oil coming out my exhaust when i looked in the bucket of water i put the motor in so i lifted it up and saw that it was coming out the bottom witch i think is the exhaust.

i really need help i wanna use this boat this summer with my family at the lake:lol::cool::happy:

You "REALLY" need a manual. Or a least take the time to search this site with specific questions.

Location,profile?It says bayarea,SF Bay,Bay City,Mi.Tampa Bay??
You might be close to someone who can help.First do a compression test.
Just cause the plugs are new doesn't mean they are good.
Or it has spark.
Get a couple of spark testers and try them.

Gas is 50-1 1 pint to 6gal.
The gunk comming out of the lower is unburned gas/oil.
Your turning it over,and it's sucking gas/oil trough the carb.It's not burning and going out the exhaust.
Try a different tank and fresh gas.
Drain the carb and flush the new gas through.
Kill switch hooked up???

So you need a kill switch for it to start?
