I have a 95hp '67 Mercury Outboard serial #2124524. Back in June, my Pop gave me the Boston Whaler with the motor and I imediatly did something stupid, which I corrected with lots of help from the folks on iboats and a couple hundered dollar donation to Oldmercs.com for parts. The boat was running awsome, had it out many times, and have had no trouble whatsoever. I haven't had it out for about two weeks and today we went to go fishin - mabey its a Mars alligning with Venus situation but the battery was dead - could hear the new CDI wine but not enough jucie left to turn over. Connected jumper cables to the battery and the motor turns over but would not fire - tried this for mabey 20 min - then went fisin using the British seagull - slow but we got some fisin in. Am going to try charging the battery overnight then see if it helps. As I mention till this morning, all was fine with the boat - pull in, hook up gass, pump ball, turn key and Go-Like H#ll to the nearest fishin spot. Today that was not the case.
