My '94 limiter was mounted inside the mount on rear of motor. item #43 Had to remove the module to get to it.
I don't think it's a simple as cutting a wire, may be wrong though. But when I ran my motor with the blower, I had a wire harness that I used that eliminated the rev limitor all together. It's a stock Merc item, but can't recall which motor it'd be on to order.

You're welcome! Your prop is on the way, and you have mail. I threw in the thrust washer and the rest of the chit you need to install it as well. Nice doing biz, good luck. Peter
