1974 Merc 500 Wiring plug

['Marley']

I was getting my boat ready to take out this past weekend and noticed a short in the electrical system, after tracking it down to the plug on the side of the engine (orig 1974 wiring) most of the wires were dryrotted and cracking, so I pealed back some of the wiring cover and to make a long story short after cutting into the actual plug I made it work. My question is I have been looking for a replacement plug b/c this rigged thing will not last, and I cannot find it anywhere. I would like to redo all of the wiring but I cannot find a part number or anything. Any help would be appricated.<br /><br />Marley

Umm I could not find it there...<br />I even searched for looms and really I just need the plug that actually connects to the engine itself, are they sold together? I will do some more searching with the word loom and see what I can come up with.<br /><br />Thanks for the help
