Default older merc 80hp no fire

well i got this boat cheap and was told there was no fire so where
should i start to find the problem? Iv rebuilt auto motors so im not
new to motors. Can i take a new spark plug and auto one and arc it on
the head to see if spark comes off it? Or this not going to work?
