    Robert,
    Look at the drawing. The jumper between both switches can be removed & just have one switch. Maybe the other end of the engine leads go to different spots inside the electronics for engineering needs like one is better at high speeds. None have sam’s photo faxes drawings on them & now OMC is gone Mercury is the only one made here so getting data on the out of country product may be difficult…or not. I know of a post on Johns were they melted the potting material off the components more than once it was the silicone controlled rectifier that had failed. It’s like a electric switch like some transistors but the SCR handles much more current. It is a three pin device, input, output & gate. The gate terminal is the switching component of the device.
    My Dad was in Nasa in design & rated his parts at 100% & the wheels came back & rated the parts at 60 to 70%. That is why they don’t last. Like walking along a cliff, How close can you get without falling in.
    What a ride EH?
