    you wont find a wiring diagram for the boat. It NEVER existed. however the factory engine service manual will have wiring for the motor/controls/and required gauges in it. you can get factory service manuals for the mercruiser via https://publications.brunswick.com/

    Need advice

    and keep cleaning every connection until you get to the helm and back to the motor. by clean and shiny, that is clean enough your mother-in-law would eat off of them.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 4 cylinder engine won't start

    its never the coil (only about 2 out of a million suspected bad coils are ever bad). however a coil is easy to diagnose. My guess is the distributor is 180 degrees out.

    thats understandable....everyone that is looking at their first boat just wants to do something, whether it is fishing, sitting at a sand bar, or pulling the kids around on a tube. however unlike your car, when a boat breaks down, it can be serious, where in a car you just pull over and there...

    1999 Crestliner 2050 Sportfish transom raising

    Just like replacing a transom. You can't simply add material. You must remove the old transom wood and then build back at a higher height
