I have a 1989 Mariner 8hp only getting spark at one cylinder. If I move the coil wire from the switch box to the other coil the other cylinder gets fire. Do you think it is the switch box or can I check something else. I can work on small engines just never tried a boat motor. Best place to get a switch box?

Yep - a box from ANY 6, 8, 9.9, 15, 20 or 25 horse built after 1986 will fit (if you have access to used parts).

Otherwise, any Merc dealer can hook you up (about $180 retail) OR

CDI/Rapier makes decent aftermarket parts for this model - their switchbox (looks) different than an OEM but works exactly the same and sells for about $125 bucks (give or take) - perhaps this site carries them, you could contact Andrew or Cliff if interested.....
