Regarding……
Actually, I have two solenoid boxes under there – if I had only one, I’d mount it to the back of the rib the seat back rests against. The one that came with the boat has the big plug on the motor end of the harness for the 1959 35 Lark , and I added another for the hard-wired harness that goes to the 40 HP Lark III that I currently have on it – I can easily switch out these and similar motors. Both boxes have long enough cables to get from there to the motor. I have two ignition switches up front too (one still temporarily mounted hanging down from the dash).
Glad I could help you out with the cables. You and others here have helped me on several motors! Thank you!

I had to buy a boat, two motors, and a trailer just to get the one solenoid box, lol.
Sounds like you’re ready to throw just about any vintage OMC on the boat and go.
My 57 Big Twin’s motor side plug did not have the corresponding socket for the “choke”
pin in the 59 harness to the solenoid box, so I had to switch some wires around in
the solenoid box to get the choke to work.
Prepare to be boarded!
