    check your controls!!!!!

    if you think you have an electrical problem ,your motor wont even turn over ect. then check your controls if your motor is a little older then the wires in the ignition are probably fraid and rusty this is for all i/o's not just mercs/maraniers

    check your controls!!!!!

    if you think you have an electrical problem your motor wont even turn over ect. all of the wires in the ignition box in the older motors unless they are babied and have been rewired are probably rusty and in poor condition this isnt just for johnson evirude but for all i/o's
