Default Boat wiring

I’m betting that the smart people on here can help me. I have a 1992 Century Resorter with a GM 350. For the first time ever, it’s sputtering and stalling and needs to be revved up to keep running. It was in for a new prop, driveshaft, and cutlass. It’s an inboard. One of the cutlass bolts has a ground fitting on it and i found a green wire near it that I believe was grounded there. I’ve since found another green wire that might need to be in that fitting as well, but I’m just not sure if it does. Interestingly, with nothing running or turned on, when I put the blower on, it only runs weakly and the oil pressure guage rises gradually. This feels like a missing ground? Would that make the engine run very badly? It was left out in the rain by the prop shop so there could also be a bad gas situation. I’m unable to find a wiring diagram and the wiring’s horrible to get to.
Do you all have any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
