[QUOTE="stinkfoot, post: 427537, member: 20555"] I bought A 1977 Merc 402 off a guy in WA. He had bought the boat of an old guy at the lake and I think this motor had sat at the cabin being barely used. I paid 500 bucks, Unknown to me ALL the wiring was rotten and I mean COMPLETELY.... Luckily for me I had a parts motor(1975). Replaced a few wires and swapped out a few bits and this motor runs like a champ. The paint is still shiny.... Will post a daylight pic. Mercury insulation for that era really sucked badly. My advice is replace what you can and see if it helps. [/QUOTE]
