There's probably no problem with the starter. The solenoid sounds like the problem. It is the little round thing with the wires hooked to it forward of the starter on your model. Don't forget to disconnect the battery before removing it and remember which posts the wires are on.
Mercury outboards manufactured in 1976 require a 50:1 ratio, roughly one pint of 2 cycle oil, to six gallons of fuel.
very simple task...first remove the rear seat, there you will see the motor, you should be able to take it from there.
The starter on all early model fords are on the passenger side, once you have that side jacked up with a jack stand disconect the wires that go to the starter. Once the wires are disconnected, use a 5/8 socket or wrench to loosen the 2 bolts that hold the starter in place. Just about all remanufactured starters will need the use of shims, if your old starter has them, reuse them for a ball park thickness. If not, use the middle thickness and go from there. The V8 starters can be a problem to remove. The steering rack and crossmember interfere. You may need to remove the passenger side motor mount and jack the engine up to get the starter out.
