merc 850 rotted wiring

[Dandee]

My motor works good but the insulation is falling off the wiring. I need a new harness from the keyswitch to the power pack. where can I get these?

Re: merc 850 rotted wiring

this website seems to have what we are both looking for... I couldn't find one last summer for my 71 1150 merc and ended up using some interesting methods to rewire (let's just say that I could patch into the grid if I needed to)... if those are rotten check the wiring in the engine... I just patched/replaced a few on my merc...<br /> http://outboardparts.com/mercury/mall/merchrnss.asp

Re: merc 850 rotted wiring

Thanks for your reply Duckman, Its a merc 85 horse 4 cyl. Great old motor, I thought about trying to replace the wires one by one but seemed to be too daunting of a task. I found that I can actually buy the harness at the local dealer for 120.00 The only problem is all of the connections are soldered and there are alot of connections. Thanks Dan Yates
