Electric start Mercury 40hp 400 model

Post by Rapier »

Fitted the Mercury 400 with electric start on a push button..took ages to do, as I struggled to make it all fit. To get the starter motor in it's holder everything needs to be dismantled, per below, even the choke button has to come out. The wiring was shot, no pics, but was absolutely rotten where exposed, under the tape was fine. Thanks to the usual suspects where instructions for kill switch and solenoid wiring is concerned, luddite here when it comes to wiring.
