Default 1994-95 Mercury sportjet 90 ignition

My boat died couple of weeks ago,I had no sparks.
After checked the previous posts,now I know my swicthbox is the problem.
In fact had it in a repair shop,after hours of cleaning the black rubber of it,
they measured all the components,and the capacitor is shut.
The switchbox #:18495A26
The capacitor#337-815792 about 2inch long x 0.75 dia.
My question is what is the value of the capacitor,so i can replace it and any idea where can i get one?
Thanks for all the helps !

It's a MERCURY Sports Jet, an outboard motor on a jet pump, Not a Mecruiser I/O
Moving to Mercury/Mariner forum.
