    So what about the black with yellow stripe wire labeled magneto on the new switch is it not needed with this type of ignition?

    Mercontrol Rewiring

    On the diagram for the switch I bought it shows the purple wire as going to ignition but I really don’t know this new switch has six terminals and the old has seven so missing something somewhere

    The serial number is 2838067 which would say it’s a 1970 I know it’s one of the earliest models of 1150 because it has a silver block

    Mercontrol Rewiring

    I’m trying to wire in a temporary key switch and choke picked up a switch at a boat shop that they said could be made to work but there’s a couple things that I’m not understanding where does the orange wire from the original harness tie in and what would go to the magneto wire on the new switch

    I would be leaning towards a new control retrofit there's really nothing left to splice the wires to and all the switches/ wiring harnesses seem to be unavailable. Is there a specific mercury control that is easer to retrofit?

    Mercontrol Rewiring

    Opened up this mercontrol on my 1970s StarCraft holiday with a 1150 to address the choke button not working and found another can of worms is it possible to find the parts to rewire this or is it possible to retrofit a new control to these cables and wiring harness

    1968 1150 Fuel System Rebuild

    As the title says I have a 1150 that’s been sitting with old gas in it for at least 7 years and the gas has turned into varnish crystals in the lines, pumps, carbs…. it needs a complete rebuild. I plan on putting all new lines, new diaphragms in the pumps, clean the carbs. What else needs to...

    Minn kota armature bearing doesnt turn

    Check with a multimeter to verify you have power to the brushes if you do make sure that the area on the armature where the brushes contact isn’t corroded had a Minkota that got a bit of moisture in it and corroded that part of the armature after cleaning it up it worked again
