I've never seen this before, but for anyone attempting to do it; don't bother! For the sake of the RNLI and £60 (replacement cost) it doesn't pay to be miserly. The guy who owned this one used to use it off the coast...
For the uninitiated: old style OMC coils had a resin-like coating which breaks down and cracks after awhile causing arc-ing / shorts. The new ones are green or black coated with a plastic that will not break down in your lifetime.
Having seen this the points and condensers will likely be decrepid too (along with the requisite impellor).

Re: OMC coils
Mmmm, nice. OK if you were desperate but not worth it as a long term fix.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
