What is the difference in merc and cdi switch box. I read good and bad thngs about the cdi box. Is the color for the wire connections the same on the merc as it is on cdi. I am trying to cut cost and thinking of buying cdi boxes.

I can't comment on the colour changes, but I can tell you that CDI makes good stuff. I found the best deal on ebay if you can believe it.

They are all great products. The wire colors must match if they're worth anything.....
Go with either is my advice.
What's your original problem? Why do you think the switch boxes are bad?
