    ‘87 Bayliner 3.0 OMC NO SPARK!

    Hey guys. First post here, long time reader. Just picked up a ‘87 Bayliner Capri 3.0. I have no spark while cranking. Points and coil have been changed with a running boat and no change. Was digging under the dash just checking out wiring and found some definitely messed with wiring on the...
