    Electrical help

    I was trying to get my motor to start today and it didn't seem like I had spark. My son left the key on and a few minutes later we smelled smoking and noticed this ceramic piece was SUPER hot. I have no clue what this piece does bot the wires from the coil connect to it. What is the best way...

    Need flush plug

    Hi everyone, I have a 1975 Mercury Powertrim 1500 (150 hp) and noticed the flush plug is missing. I don't want to use a plug from the hardware store if I don't have to. Does anyone know where I can find the correct plug? I have been looking and have not had any luck. Thanks, Rob
