Just bought this boat with an 80Hp Johnson, but I got no spark from the plugs. Trying to find a book and a new electrical harness as well... :confused:

Belt driven mag. First you are going to have to search out a manual, OEM if you can find one. Lots to troubleshoot.
You probably will not be able to find a harness unless it's from a salvage yard.

Re: No Spark from my Seahorse...

Anyone want to buy this POS?

No.
Belt drive distributor. Electric shift.
Nearly worthless if the wiring is shot, especially if the original throttle/shifter is not there. Distributor cap and rotor are available, but will cost you 300 bucks.
