I have a mercruiser 898... thing it's a ford engine? It came in an 81 seaswirl and was told it was the original engine... Took it to the lake first thing and dropped it in... It fired right up and I was excited. It went into reverse... although it seemed a little slow it seemed fine... it then wouldn't go forward and the drive was comming up out of the water... I figured bleed the hydraulics (misspelled I'm sure) so when I went to take it home... before I pulled it out I noticed that the positive battery terminal was glowing orange. I took it how and put a different battery and terminals on it because I thought that might be the problem for the glowing terminal... Now it cranks slow and the battery cables get hot.
I know nothing about this thing I'm used to outboards... any advice???
