Hello!
I am new to the forum. I just joined today. I have a 1968 Silverline boat with a 1960 evinrude 75 hp motor that I bought in April of this year. Working on it since. I am looking to get it into working condition. I came here to this forum to get some advice on some things.
First, there is a hole in the hull about the size of a quarter, making this boat leak when on the water. I made a temporary patch out of flex seal and duct tape, it works, but I want to get the job done properly. Any Ideas on how to do this?
Second, the motor does not have any spark going to the spark plugs. I looked into this for months and found that there is no electricity coming out of the coil to the distributor cap. I think I am not putting the coil in properly, because I took out the old one which was bad and replaced it with a new one. Can anyone help me with this?
I will try to post pictures later.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Jared
