Has anyone attempted to re-wire the external and internal wiring harness?
I have recently purchased a '72 Mercury 800 (80 HP), that has been sitting for about 3 years and all the wires are deteriorated. I have found that the aftermarket harnesses are pretty expensive, I want to re-wire myself but want to make sure it is worth the effort. The plug that mounts to the side of the motor (external) is also deteriorated, would it be worth it to hard wire right to the internal and eliminate the plug?
Any suggestions for this project would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
