Hi All,
I'm in the process of restoring my 1977 StarCraft islander. I just finished the rebuild on the motor and will soon be returning it to it's home in the hull. I bought the boat a few years back and over the years po's have butchered, spliced, taped, repaired with lamp cord, cut, abused and melted a lot of the wires in the boat. The boat has a 120HP 153CI mercruiser in line 4 serial#4511052 with an MC1 outdrive serial#2970347. I would like to replace the 37 year old wires with new. I found a lot of harnesses on line that were called "old style" harnesses. How can I desifer what harness I need. Does it go by pin count? They all have different part #'s. Can I find this info in one of the merc manuals? Any help would be much appreciated.
