Winter project for Summer fun

[Joe]

Decided I am going to go through the "Puppy" over the Winter so I can hopefully have a Spring and Summer of fun instead of headaches. I bought her ('78 V20 w/898 Mercruiser) last Summer, and as with most things I have bought, she has issues. I know I need a starter slave solenoid, and am going to go through the ignition system and do a general tune-up (points, condenser, plugs,wires,dis. cap, etc.) I am hoping the coil is good, but may wind up doing that as well if it still not right when Spring rolls around.
I am also going to re-wire since I have phantom wires running to nowhere, and have already found a couple that have gotten a little crispy at some point. She needs trim senders, and want to get them replaced as well. The transom, and hull are in fairly good shape, stress cracks, and old screw holes not withstanding, which I want to get to when the warmer weather comes back.
I am hoping to update this as I go along, and have my fingers crossed that she'll be golden when I get finished.
