My wiring diagram for my 1970 Mercruiser 120 says there is a Transistor Voltage Regulator. Is that on the engine? Or will it be mounted in the builge somewhere near the wiring harness for it?

The regulator can be mounted in several locations but most often on the the transom or side engine bulkhead

See it is a 1981 boat and had a 1981 120 hp, but the guy didn’t winterize it and it was seized when I got it. I put a 1970 engine out of a working boat in. Putting it in was the easy part, now I need all this other stuff to make it essentially 11 years older.
