    Transom is in, what I learned

    Replaced transom in 14 ft. FG bass boat. To do this I removed the old wood from the top leaving a empty transom cavity.

    New to Mercury controls in the last 20 years, so hear goes. My control has a kill switch under a plastic hood. It says OFF, does that mean motor OFF or kill switch OFF. Before I spend a weekend trying to start a motor with the kill switch in the wrong position.
