[QUOTE="TxTightLiner, post: 304359, member: 10479"] Most marine mechanics will tell the owner of a older outboard that its not worth fixing or you can't buy parts for it. That's usually a tactic to sell you one of their motors. IMO your motor looks pretty clean other than the wires, which look like they may have caught fire at some point. Don't sweat that though because it can be fixed fairly easy. The easiest way to fix your wire issue has been said , replace the harness. I would figure out the exact year/model of that motor then try to find a part # for the harness. That way you can narrow your search for the parts you need. But.. If you just decide not to jack with it & replace it, get the max HP your boat is rated for. You will be glad you did in the long run. [/QUOTE]
