Wildman,
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.

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.

Craney,
Yup. While I don’t do much that requires welding, these are some pretty basic parts for me/us. I’m used to doing much more complex stuff.
I have a small shop here in Dayton. It’s nice when my personal interests and hobbies compliment each other.
Thanks. Brad.
