96 XR-1 150 sparkplug wires

[captrec]

Starting up motor last weekend checking everything with ears on, had running at 2000 rpm. I was pushing on the sparkplug boots to see if tight and the top two zapped me pretty good. These are the #1 and #2 CDMs, per the manual.
My question is; do I replace the boots, the boots and wires, or the boots, wires, and the CDM. Can just the boots and wires be replaced?
I know just enough about this engine to be dangerous. Thanks

Myself I would look into replacing the boots for the plugs.-----A dealer would help.-------Not available ?---Then look at fitting Johnson / Evinrude / BRP boots .---Available at less than $ 10 each.

Thanks Guys. Can you replace the wires and boots without replacing the CDMs?

See post # 2 and it looks like the wire is available separately.-----Talk to your trusted Mercury dealer !
