The wiring on my boat is mostly original. (Twin Mercruiser 165 L6's). The wire on the motor side of the cannon harness has been obviously fiddled with as it is not nearly as tidy as a factory install. Due to a running issue I am getting ready to replace the resistor wire back to the cannon harness (which is also damaged). This means I will have to remove the tape and unravel about half the harness. The OCD in me says trash the engine harness and re-wire it.
My instinct is to cut the cannon harness off and add marine grade ring terminals to the boat side of the harness and run them to a terminal block affixed high on the transom and then re-build the motor harness from there.
Eventually I may do the boat side of the harness but it appears to be in pretty good shape
Is this a bad approach?
