Hello, im new to this forum as i just purchased a 1977 terry 5.2 bass boat. it has a mercury 1150 115hp motor. i want replace the distributor cap but the cheapest i found was $105. Its discontinued from mercury. Does anyone know if theres a cheaper aftermarket cap cap or a totally different distributor that has cheaper more easily accessible parts for this engine ? the engine serial # is 4698567

The plug wires screw into the cap.Good luck finding a aftermarket cap for a 36 year old marine motor. Buy the OEM and be done with it,whats wrong with the original ?

Be glad it's only 105 buck's. Depending on the motor,I've seen em for 3x that. Merc parts aint' cheap.
