    No power to ignition

    Check for voltage at the red wire on the ignition switch. If you have power at the red wire, your switch is bad If you do not have power, go back to the big round plug and check there. Could be the cannon plug, or bad circuit breaker at the motor

    Pre BIA?

    It means that Mercruiser used what ever color wire they wanted (no standards). So you have to get official schematics from the factory service manual. The aftermarket wannabe manuals won't cut it

    Where would you rather fish the 3rd week in October

    I suggest Manatee Florida..... fishing off Longboat pass, then taking your catch to Marivista to have them cook it for you..... or swing by Swardfish in Cortez..... or if needed, we go in the mangroves on kayaks.
