hello I'm helping someone sort out the mess that they have purchased... Buddy of mine bought a boat without trailer and sight unseen for dirt cheap... now we're in wiring hell. engine has great comp. and cranks over but no spark so I need a very basic wiring diagram for this motor from battery...
Thank you for your prompt answer I'll looked on the carver website but couldn't find anything. No currently it does not have a gen or a inverter and is set up to run a automotive alternator to maintain charge on the start battery. with the rest of the dc power set to be running on a isolated...

sorry about the lateness of my reply but your answer to my question on estimated mpg was very helpful and much appreciated as it gave me the needed inputs to estimate fuel requirements for our trip. however the volume I wound up burning turned out to be only a fraction of the estimated...
