I bought a 90 Merc 40 Classic for my boat and carried it out last month to test run it. The switch box was bad, only getting fire on two cylinders. The boat hit a top speed of 5.2 mph!
The question I have is this, I found a switch box off a mid 70's 85hp. The switch box was put on the 85 a couple years ago but it doesn't look quite like the one I have (studs are on side instead of front.) An outboard guy here tells me to that most Merc 4 cylinders are pretty much the same as far as the electronics go, so....Will this switchbox work on my outboard or no?
I am trying to find a cheaper used switch box because I am not working presently and don't have a lot to play with but would like to get my boat operational so that I can catch a few fish.
Thanks for the help!
