Yes, I took lots of pictures as I removed things. It screwed into the bottom of the cover that was over the carbs.

I bought this: ...

Thanks, I'll look further into it this winter. I need to get back to more pressing projects. I mainly wanted to verify the motor had good compression to know if I should just part it out or not. But I'll give it a chance to live again. 😊

Some stinky old fuel in the carbs. And the hoses look original. I'll need to clean up some corroded wiring and clean the carbs, and run all new fuel lines. But like I said, I'll make it a winter project. But at least I know it's worth getting it running.

139, 137, 135. Spark jumps a 1/2 inch gap on 1 & 3. No spark on #2. No spark even at coil of #2. . Really funky build for getting to the carburetors, but I guess it's worth getting it to run. . I'll be putting it away for now and perhaps make it a winter project.

When I go to Crowley Marine or Boats dot net, I see a lot more parts availability for Johnson/Evinrude 70's 70hp, than for this Mercury.

Yes, all the fuel lines need replacing. I won't even attempt to turn it over without replacing all of them - they are dried stiff. And yes, definitely will replace the impeller. . It was given to me by an older lady I work with who recently lost her husband. She knows I like boats and fishing...

Assuming it has good compression. Assuming it runs and has a good lower unit. Is it worth keeping? It looks like parts are a little hard to come by than my Johnson.

After reading and searching, it appears mine is period correct for 1967, but it appears to be in great shape. I just got back from a 4 day fishing trip and it's dry. . I'm thinking the Snickers wrapper ended up down there when they replaced the deck. I don't know when that was. . Either way, my...

What does original Styrofoam look like in a 1967 Holiday? . .

On a couple occasions some have posted to verify if my styrofoam isn't water logged. From what I could see looking in the bilge, it appeared it was it great condition. Today I decided to pull up some of the plywood floor to see how wide and tall a fuel tank I could fit under the floor, well, now...

It's a 1994. The ad says near new condition. Here's the link: It's not mine. I live in Oregon. Personally, I think it's well worth it. Especially since a tiller is rare here. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HAiaZyezL/

Here's that motor in a brochure

I was thinking similar. I've been looking closely at that there on other motors like mine because mine had a whole lot less thread showing, and mine was too retarded using static timing.

What's that orange stuff near the timing adjustment? .

It's on FB for over $4000. I won't post a link so I don't break any rules.

Yeah, I've been reading they are stable on stable water. 😊 The lady just wants it hauled off. Portland Oregon area.

Nevermind, I think it's called a tri-hull. I'm reading they are unwanted boats.
