Hey all,

I have buddy that is having issues with a part of his motor:

2005 Mercury Optimax 75hp

there's a part on the side of the motor that melted:

Does anyone know what the ground cable under there is used for?? the engine works fine and he finished the fishing trip no issue but I doubt that it's normal that this cover melted and the ground cable under it also melted.

Any help would be great!
