I recently purchased a 1976 Merc 75 (7.5 HP outboard) and I am trying to figure out how and where the battery wires connect to it? I took off the top cover and did not see a tell tale hook cables here location. I have two sets of battery cables that came with the motor, but do not know where to put them. without having a manual, I am a bit lost, I know cars quite well, but I am new to outboards.
I also would like to know if there is a test I can perform to check and ensure the motor is in good working order prior to putting it in the water on the boat? ie check water pump, charging system, etc. ..
I would like to take this time to say thank you in advance to all who assist me, thank you for taking your time to do so. I appreciate it greatly!!!
