ODDD1 Thank you for your suggestions. Sorry I haven't replied sooner. Busy completing a new garage to house the boat. I did check on the cost of those parts at Mercury Parts Express and the cost to replace both brings tears to my eyes. I am looking at approx. $1,700.00. Next week a friend and I will be going over the entire electrical system I sure hope it is a broken wire or loose connection if not there goes my blue-berry money! I will repost with the results. <br />Thanks again for your help!<br />mike
