I didnt make any out of all the parts I ordered. I wouldnt sell you pigtails unless I tested them in a complete state. If your looking for finished pigtails, Marine Design Corp (MDC) makes them. http://www.marinedesigncorp.com/

old BUP knows his stuff as I been telling everyone up here about the SB.

Its called IMPROPER OVER PROTECTION for a reason and needs to be done for many reasons

Also the one amp fuse is not the design to use as that was basically an after thought and basically a bandaide . .That is not per Merc recs and is not protecting other over current issues areas. . One can call Merc and or including myself for the reasons for not using the 1 amp fuse.. I do not want to type all this out..

follow what I have been telling everyone.up here will fix that issue along with proper maintenance. .There is many keys to follow so one does not have PCM failures.

Not trying to sound bad about my statements here. But alot of boaters are running around with one or many recalls and service bulletins that NEED TO BE DONE and done with the proper parts and proper installs.

Not to discredit anyone nor their parts here but the 1 amp fuse does nothing for the over current protection for the starter side nor does it do anything for the Alternator side of the power that all leads back to the PCM.

I brought the info to the table for years now --- that many boaters have no idea about their set up needing huge updates and many of you need to listen to someone like myslef who does this daily and repairs ECM / PCM s almost daily

This is a huge case in point that boaters actually need to take their boats into oem dealer because they need an update or many updates done and get the correct info of awareness.

I can not tell you how many boaters have not had the update done and its in the 1000s because most of the serial numbers I run still show still an outstanding recall that has NEVER BEEN DONE.

And for the record if you are still listening to me there is 7 Merc racing engines that need to make sure the update are DONE along with many important service bulletins that side with ones engine serial number. AGAIN need to be done correctly with the proper parts for the complete protection.

This have been since 2008 for the update and like I said , 1000s of boaters are running around with a time bomb. Boaters need to rethink about what a huge benefit to have a relationship with an OEM dealer can be .

And for the record I have 60 kits in stock that are the proper kit and for the proper install. Just saying.

last week fix HP 600 sci and the recall was NEVER DONE - Blew the whole track and circuit completely out. The few that repair ECMs / PCMs would have said sorry your PCM is totally junk and NON REPAIRABLE but I keep at it and repaired the whole darn thing good as new actually better than new because of the better better internal components I installed Just saying.

The ECM / PCM 555 have some average components installed at best.. By far the largest group of failures in the whole marine industry not even close is the 555 s.
its 100 - ecm / pcm 555 s fail to 1 Econtrols ecm.

Boat was running rough one day while in Destin last week. Then alarms started going off with key on and while ign on. IAC code.

Glad I installed those 1A fuses. Fuse was blown, IAC shorted. Put in a new fuse and a new IAC at the dock, and we're boating again. Nice!

Speaking out loud: Merc has so many damn IAC issues across all their motors, and many use OE Ford or GM IAC’s that have little trouble in vehicles.

What gives ? Belt dust ? Too much IAC opening ?

It is very strange that an IAC will run 200K miles on a car, but will only last a year in a boat. I would like to know the reason as well. I have always carried a spare with me and have used them more than one would think.

I always wondered if it was the higher duty cycle compared to a car?
