Hi i have a old 60s 70s 65hp merc sat for ten years cause it needed a lower unit,well i got one and got this running pretty good. the question is there are some craked wires (insulation dry rot)and was wondering if any one has ever used liquid elec tape to coat them and repair the insulation? i have replaced all the ones that could be replaced.next and more importent is the water hose that are on the side of the engine they go to brasss fittings but have a crimp type band on them (this is a 4cyl) some seem to be soft in spots and i would like to replace them. would fuel line and hose clamps be ok? thanks for any help anyone can offer
