I just bought my first real boat and have no idea what Im doing. It ran when I bought it but the throttle cable was broken. I changed the throttle cable but when I attached it in the control box the kill switch was lose and it didnt look like all the pieces were there. The control box is a Quicksilver commander and the motor is a early 80's 80 hp mercury. A guy at the boat ramp looked at it and said it wasnt getting a spark, it does discharge a small spark. I changed the plugs and cleaned the starter connections and the coil packs and the only thing that looks odd is the kill switch it was a metal dip switch in a black housing but there is no way to hold it in place. Any help would be appreciated.
