mercury 115 switchbox wiring

[twister1r]

today at the lake gentleman was having trouble with 1985 merc 115 inline 6 said he had just had the switch boxes replaced. I noticed that upper switch box #2 position went to #5 coil and on the lower switchbox #2 position went to #2 coil i always thought the the positions of the switch box went to their respective coil. Anybody know off hand how this should be? Just curious.

thanks

Off the top of my head.. I think that's correct. Perhaps they replaced the switchboxes when the stator was the real culprit? Happens all the time today.
