Sounds like you have disrupted the timing of your motor.
Obtain a maintenance manual for your motor and read and look at the schematics for changing out a distributor.
It involves stuff like finding top dead center of number one cylinder, the position of the valves and install of distributor in a certain position.
If after this you still have an in op motor, take it to a marine shop to have them see what they can do for you and have the original distributor with you at that time.
