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

Generally Speaking...............The green wire sounds like it's a grounding connection.
You could confirm but taking a DVM (or VOM) meter and measuring the resistance between the ends of the green wires to the Battery negative (-) terminal. If you have zero (or near zero) ohms resistance, the most likely it is a ground wire.

The "poor functioning" of some components can mean it is seeking a grounding path, and "back feeding" through other devices. Continued use like this will result in some device(s) burning out.
It would be wise to trace this problem(s) down and fix them.

Your small block 350 being a '92, will have electronic ign. and possibly fool injection.
 If a ground is missing somewhere, like Roland stated, you can back feed and or overload other components besides the engines electronics. It would be prudent that after you get the ground re attached, do check all your electronic/electrical systems ( communication, fish finders etc.) for proper operation before you venture out on the water. Hope it is simply the wire. I've seen some seemingly unrelated components damaged.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
