96 Mariner 60 ELPTO #OG223557 Help identify electronic module

Charging system not keeping up. I have been putting it on a charger after each use and pushing the inevitable down the road. My last trip out the Tach quit. The unit has low hours but the age has me questioning spending the cash for repairs. I value the input I have received from this site and look forward to reading your comments.
I have enclosed a picture of a circuit board that appears to be burned out . I have no idea what it is. Thanks in advance for your input.

Rectifier / voltage regulator.----Easy fix.-----But if $$$$ are not an issue you will be happy with a new $8,000 Model 4 stroke.

Are you sure the serial number is correct or that the engine info is correct?

Searching your serial number bring the engine up to be a 1995 MERCURY TRACKER 40 ELO model number 1040312RT on many websites.

As posted rect/reg. Where is the fuse? Has it been bypassed?

The number came off the original sales receipt. I found it on Crowley's web site. I pulled the fuse before I removed the cover. Any ideas on the circuit board at the bottom of the picture? I am 70 years old. I paid $1500 for a 15 foot Starcraft and this outboard 8 years ago. There is no new boat on my retirement income. Thanks again for the input.
