    (1) Disconnect the "kill-wire" off the terminal-strip to see if there's a ground path caused by either the ignition-switch and or rubbed-through wire(s) OR if your "man overboard" switch if grounding (2) Remove the spark-plugs (make sure their grounded) and see if they sparks (a slow...

    No readings are taken from the trigger-wires to ground only between the sets (#1/#2/#3/#4) With all the wires still disconnected; take a volt-reading(with a DVA-adapter attached to your meter & meter set to DC volts) (1) from each set of trigger-wires = should around 4.5 volts (2) from each set...

    Can I swap factory tilt/trim from Mercury version 85hp to US Marine version 85?

    As the gear-case where not "labeled" with stamps, the only way to know what you got would be either look for a date stamping in the cast or by counting the revolutions of the drive-shaft v.s. prop-shaft
