"We just bought a 2001 Chaparr
"We just bought a 2001 Chaparral with a 3.0 mercruiser motor. The first time we took it out, the motor would crank, but it won't start. Just our luck, our auto mechanic pulled up on his boat and took a look at it. He said that there was no fire. I literally know nothing about motors or anything mechanical and neither does my husband. Our 4 year old had been messing with the killswitch, but we had it in the run position. Any ideas on what I can do without having to take it in. The guy we bought it from said that it was running fine the day that we got it. I keep hoping that it is something simple that maybe I could fix. Help please."
