Hi all,
I recently acquired a 1966 Aerocraft Runabout with a 50 hp Mercury o/b. It has a Quicksilver trim assembly (with throttle) fully installed. Now, while I was lucky to get all the registration paperwork for the boat, the previous owner had no information whatsoever on the Quicksilver unit. The installation looks okay, even though the original start switch and wiring was left in the console.
I can't seem to find any model information on the unit. The power assembly is installed under the transom. And, web searches have been somewhat lacking in information.
Before I remove either the power unit or throttle control to try and find a model number, does anyone have any suggestion as to where I can find technical information? I'm hesitant to hook up the battery and fire it up without having some information in hand.
Thanks!
Joe
