About the same as a car, new oil, new spark plugs, new water pump, new spark plug wires, some stabil in the gas to keep it from going bad, maybe a new prop if its bad, that's about it without rebuilding the engine if its not broke then don't fix it. I'd also get a shop manual it tells you everything you need to do.
The correct timing for a Mercruiser 3.0L 140 engine is 6 degrees BTDC. for a Mercruiser 120 the correct timing is 8 degree BTDC.

I was quoted $120 without new spark plug wires.
For a 1966 120 hp 4-cylinder MerCruiser engine, the spark plug gap should typically be set between 0.030 to 0.035 inches. It's important to check the specific service manual for your engine model, as there can be slight variations. Always ensure that the gap is consistent for optimal engine performance.
To set up the distributor for the 120 MerCruiser, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Next, align the rotor to point towards the number one spark plug terminal on the distributor cap. Then, follow the firing order (1-3-4-2) and connect the spark plug wires in the correct sequence around the cap. Finally, double-check the connections and ensure the distributor is securely fastened before starting the engine.
