Re: Wiring harness – broken pin (Mercury Mark 30E)

[deananywhere]

Thanks Richard! I think you’re probably right about trying to replace just the pin. Those pins are designed to stay in place; not wanting to push in or pull out without great effort (and probably special tools). My time and effort could be better spent on many other things. There’s a guy on Ebay that will sell me a complete like-new harness for $103. This is probably the smart way to go, but I’m liking the Allied Electronics lead you gave me. Being an Electrical Engineer, a bit of soldering and heatshrinking is a no brainer.

Thanks also to Wannabe for the good find! While I love supporting our fellow entrepreneurs, I also believe in shopping around. I’m not sure how to interpret "NOS" though ( http://www.acronymfinder.com/NOS.html ). I’m a real newbie.

Regarding the positive or negative ground on this motor, any advise? I can figure it out, but the advise might help if the (+) and (-) wire colors don’t match up well with one of 4 schematics that I’ve dug up.
