hey guy's first post here, been a member a while, doing a lot of reading here, lot's of great info. Working on a '85 cheetah boat that i purchased a few years ago, trying to bring it back to life, the motor is a 115 straight six (mercury), on the tilt i have two wires coming out of the left cylinder, control wires, the jacket on the wires is completely dry rotten, my question is can these wires be replaced by removing the cylinder or are they non replaceable and have to buy a new cylinder? They are bare all the way up to where it goes into the hollow cavity where the cylinder attaches, may be good inside of it but wouldn't think it would be the best location to spice, thanks for any help.
