2.) I had no keys to it, so I took out the key ignition and took it to a locksmith to have keys made. I wrote down the diagram of the way it was wired, but lost the paper.....do I need to purchase a manual to get the wiring diagram on the ignition switch or can I find it somewhere online?
3.) will I have trouble finding parts for the boat/motor. This is an original Force made by U.S. Marine, I have been told that Mercury now owns Force and was wondering if they still make parts for the motors this old?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
