    Kill Switch Lanyard

    first, welcome aboard. being a johnson, going to assume 2-stroke. the switch could just be bad. 2-stroke kill switches ground the stator to ground. so disconnect the switch, and measure continuity both with and without the lanyard

    1981 Rinker with Mercruiser 120HP, In what order should I do these repairs??

    When was the last time the gimble bearing, u-joints, and alignment were checked? you can do them in the order listed, however when you are doing the bellows, you will need to verify alignment and check the u-joints and gimble bearing. so that portion of the job may grow a bit.
