Checking Craiglist I found a 1988 Merc with a rebuilt power head asking $900.00. Called the guy up and when he gives me his address, he’s three blocks south of me off the main avenue. Motor is OK; check compression and all cylinders at 115-117 psi. No spark on three cylinders (figured is the power packs) and he sold it to me $700.00. Anyway, he brought his boat to my house, helped me remove my motor and replace it with his. Except for my blown power head, I’ve got spares for everything. I will be going to work on it today and hopefully the spark issue can be resolved by exchanging the power parks.
