I am very new to the whole boating world. I've got a Glastron ssv-178 that i restored... i have a Mercury Black Max 150 (roughly 1982-84) This motor will not start! I'm troubleshooting my way through this and so far I am getting fuel to carbs, spark to plugs, etc. A friend suggested a few other issues I've worked out. Here is my question, does this motor HAVE to be submerged in water to start? Is there some sort of kill switch? It seems to be firing all over just nothing beyond this. Batteries, connections, everything seems to be clean and in working order. Any help or directions towards wiring diagrams etc would be helpful. I am on a working man's budget with no credit card to buy books online etc. Thanks in advance!
