I've got a 72 mercury 1150, need to know the procedure for installing the plug side of wire back into the boot, thanks Jason

Re: plug wire boots

Once the connector is pushed thru the wire spray the end and boot with silicone and it should push on quite easily.

okay, I stripped back 3/8 to 1/2 inch of wire and then I just push it in? that's it?

No, the spring end goes on the end of the wire and is held on by the piercing point going through the wire at a right angle then sprayed and installed in the boot as assembly.

done, I hooked a meter up to test continuity and found #2 and #4 were not making a connection at all, I couldn't even get continuity from any plugs to the inside of the cap, cleaned everything up and now everythings looking good, thanks, Jason
