Hi,
I have a 1980 40 Merc. Up untill this last weekend, The motor ran great. On Sunday, Something went DEAD and the boat wouldn't start. I charged the battery last night and put new spark plugs in, But the eletric start will not work. I tried to start it by the Fly Wheel pull and its starts but than abruptly stalls.
Any Idea?

Sean,
The older Mercs are infamous for bad wires. I'd start looking there. I haven't found the locks yet.
