    Ford 302 petronix igniter 2 distributor

    I may not have explained it well. There won't be a mark on the cap. In theory #1 can be any terminal on the cap. The rotor doesn't have to point to the number one cylinder on the block, although it often does, just to the terminal on the distributor cap that has a plug wire going to the number...

    Lost Keys for Older Boat

    For that era I think there's only a small number of keys that they used. A lot of merc dealers will have a ring with a bunch of keys on it that you can use to match it up. It will require you taking the boat or control to them or the ring of keys to the boat.

    Ford 302 petronix igniter 2 distributor

    Put the cap on the distributor. Use a felt marker to put a mark on the distributor body that aligns with the distributor post for the #1 plug. Remove the distributor cap. Align the rotor with the mark on the distributor body. That should get you in the ball park.

    2022 Tohatsu 15hp Gear Oil Level

    Insert the wire down an inch. I use a very small white zip tie. Basically you want the oil level to be close to the height of the vent plug.

    Old Honda 7.5HP (BF75) fuel line - buy NoS or replace connector?

    Don't know what era yours is but on my 1980's 7.5's the orientation is opposite to yours. The pointed guide/locking pin is at the top on mine. I don't have access to them right now so I can't measure. I know on models newer than mine they changed the connector so it's not possible to try and...

    I'm getting unknown sender emails that I can't block

    Can you logon to your email providers webmail interface? If so, you might try and create a rule there to stop them.

    Is the boat 30 feet or the length of the trailer and boat 30 feet?

    1976 Honda 7.5hp has no spark after impeller change.

    On my 1981 7.5hp I have a neutral safety switch at the front of the motor under the cowl that is activated by the shift lever. Maybe the older ones don't. The spark is very hard to see. I have to check mine with the lights off in the garage.

    3.0L hard starting

    If that 12.4 volts is accurate it means the batteries are either weak or not fully charged. They should be 12.6 volts. You should be able to get them load tested at a parts store.

    What are these holes for in this carbeurator drain manifold

    I think on my older 7.5 one is for the carb drain and the other for the tell tale. Are those holes for a lack of a better term not self sealing?

    Trailer Brakes or Not

    If you put new surge brakes on I'd recommend Free-Backing brake assemblies. They make it easy to back the trailer up without needing to activate a reverse lockout pin or solenoid. Otherwise the weight of the trailer will cause the brakes to engage when backing up.

    Oil pressure sending unit upgrade

    The big one is the pressure sending unit. The smaller one on the right is probably for a low oil pressure alarm if you have one.

    Shifting

    Are you testing it with the motor running or turning the prop by hand? If turning the prop by hand then it normally clicks one way when in reverse and clicks the other way when in forward. Did you have the gear selector in forward when you removed the drive? you might get a mod to move this to...

    Boat slow after cleaning

    Normally if trim is causing planing issues you have to trim the prop in towards the transom. Not up towards the sky.
