Re: those damn warning horns
Yup....had one here.
About 300 motors were affected.
Mercury changed the 10 pin harness to a 14 pin harness and the Mercury designers reversed two wires in the new design. This fault has also caused the ECM to go bad about an hour or so after the wire fix is done. SO......keep your fingers crossed. Mercury had to send us a new ECM and a few other sensors that got boned up as a chain reaction to the wire harness screw up.
GOOD LUCK....keep us posted

Re: those damn warning horns
You can call Mercruiser and have them run your Motor Serial number.
They will tell you if it was one of the recalled motors or not.
That might give you some insight on what will be in your future.
