    1996 mariner 15 no spark

    I have a 1996 Mariner 15 hp and I bought it with no spark on either cylinder for $200. It's very clean, almost like new so I got a great deal on it. All that I have done so far is unhook the run/off switch to make sure that wasnt shorted. Where do I start?

    Problems dropping lower unit

    Ok so the motor is what I believe to be a mid 80s 30-35 hp. I cant determine that because there is no tag on the motor and the water jacket on the block has also been replaced with no numbers on it......The motor is a little bigger and heavier than my 25 hp and the exhaust comes through the...
