I have began a restoration of a 1988 Glasstream Regatta w/cuddy cabin listed in the restoration forum. I have started with the engine wiring and engine health and will continue from there. The wiring on this boat is a complete mess and have been reading each and every post concerning boat wiring start circuits. The boat has a carburated I/O, 4.3 Mercruiser w/Alpha 1 drive. I have managed to isolate some of the problem wiring and have gotten the engine to spin with no spark. I currently have only 2 wires on the 3pronged start switch which I know is the problem. I wonder if the slave solenoid is mounted normally with the circuit breaker on this class of engine? I have yet to find the control circuit for this relay and wiring diagrams for this boat and engine still elude me even getting the dloadable manuals. If there are any good sources of wiring for the old Mercruiser 4.3 carb models out there, please direct me. After more digging, I have found the manual, woohoo!
