Dan,

Post #90. SilentChoice is coming out. And I’m not sorry, either. :ernaehrung004:

Thanks. Brad.

Yup. We are going to clean up a LOT of the wiring. At least ON the engine. I don’t really have much of a problem with most of the rest of the wiring, other than the lack of a ground lug.

Literally ALL of the stuff that Merc hung on the engine, that doesn’t need to be, isn’t. The oil filter, fuel pump and filter, PS and drive oil reservoir…. All of it….. Is getting hung on the transom.

Thanks. Brad.

Merc probably does that so less things have to be disconnected/removed when pulling the engine

Ryan,

No doubt. Or, more to the point, so that there is the least number of connections required when installing the engine. Merc is designing as universal a plug-n-play component as they can. The less the rigger for the boat MFR has to do, the more engines Merc will sell them.

Thanks. Brad.

Yep, Eddie Young does the same.

when swapping engines it makes less time in the bilge hooking stuff up. Also can run on the dyno and find leaks there, rather then upside down.

That’s some nice work you do,are you a machinist by trade ?

Your boat still has cable steering on it?
