Is the mercury switch located on the side of the motor? I have a 71 50hp merc and there is a "black probe like peice" that goes into another black plastic "holder". It is grounded to the motor and another wire runs back to a terminal. I recently repaired the wire going to this peice, and just wanted to know what it is? :confused:
