That wire on the mercury switch may be on there with a small spot-weld. Gee – I never paid attention – now I’m curious and am gonna hafta take a look at one tomorrow.

You may be able to use conductive epoxy – heating it with a soldering iron doesn’t sound like a good thing to do given how mercury expands..

I wish OMC had standardized on the connector plug and left it that way for a lot of years – I’ve been putting a jumper cable right on the starter motor terminal. I have one boat wired two different ways – one is the 1957-1960 side plug and the other has a harness I have to connect all the ends to when i run my 40 HP Lark III. I’m wondering if they discontinued the side plug because if you remove the plug, you can rope start without the ignition key?
