okay I found the plate on my motor and it's says the model# is 856XL and the serial # is 1741, I'm trying to get it started but the spark is weak so I began identifying the cause and pulled the distributor cap and rotor and both are burnt and I need to replace. that's where the problem lays supposedly the model 856X5L is a 1985 and doesn't have a distributor but mine does. how do I get the parts I need? what year is it?boat id.jpg7.jpg6.jpg5.jpg4.jpg3.jpg
 
I just gave one away, but might have another. Will start digging (snow almost gone here in Duluth). You can also call Tims Outboard in Hackensack MN (no relation, just good friends). Tell 'em Tim sent ya! 218 682 2331
Just google them up and check reviews...5 STAR.
