Photos needed

[DonCig]

Can one of the registry members take some pictures of their engines, specifically the following shots from the following engines and send them to me?

Mercury 5.7 or 5.7 LX, vintage 1995-1999.
I need a photo of how Mercury mounted the Mercathode block and the circuit breaker switch to the top of the block.

I am using a Mercury wiring harness from a 1997 5.7LX 4 barrell OK serial number.

Thanks,


Don

Doncig,, some merc's mounted the circuit braker to the head adove the fuel pump and if i remember the box was mounted to the side of the circuit braker box...

Don, you talkin about the red push-button circuit breaker?

If so mine, originally a 2-barrel, was mounted behind the carb on the intake. I had to remount the switch when I changed to a 4-barrel; mounted it off the throttle bracket for the 4-barrel.

Rick do you remember who manufactured the throttle bracket on that engine? I am looking for a bracket like that one.

Thanks,

Mark, It's been a while but I believe I purchased the bracket from Eddie Marine in CA. There are some here:
