part number info
 

Does any one know the part number for the plastic gaurd plug that goes in where you plug in the computer I guess it for protection I 've got twin 1994 mpi 502's missing one on one side or what its even called I could take the one I have to dealer but I thought some body might know thanks for any help

Not sure what you're refering to, but you should be able to find it on www.mercruiserparts.com

Yes thats the cap. Does it it serve any purpose other than to keep plug in clean ? I plan to get one but does it hurt to run without it ?

no problem, I would smear some dielectric grease in the plug....

thanks for info
