    mercury 35a wiring and ignition switch questions

    I cannot find a manual or wiring diagram showing where the wires coming out of my 1959 merc mark 35a go to. Wires at motor harness that i'm unsure about are 1-solenoid, 2-choke, 3-magneto, and 4-rectifier. I know where the positive and negative cables go Do i use a 5 pole push-to-choke switch?

    throttle and shift cables

    Does my 1958 evinrude starflite fat 50 use type "400" control cables? I assume it does. http://www.iboats.com/Evinrude-Control-Cables/dm/*******.258483510--session_id.579282929--view_id.243426 Second, is the same cable used for throttle and shifter or are there seperate cables?

    brass prop question

    I googled and used the search here on the forums with no clear answer. What is the deal with brass props? Are they vintage? How are they performance wise (better or worse than other props)? I've only seen one before...it's on my 58 evinrude 50 starflite. Thanks.

    sealant versus sealant

    Would the 3M 4200 be ideal for sealing the 2 halves of my 1960 slickcraft or would 3M 5200 be more for my use? I split the boat into 2 parts to paint it and want some protection when it's ready for the water.

    I'm planning on rebuilding my carbs on my 1977 Mercury 850 85 hp. What's the ideal way to disconnect the linkage between the carbs?
