Age. They were all bundled up against the block and over time the heat has harden the wires and melted the connector. I bought this boat new in 1999. It's a 50 Mercury. All I have done to it is kept regular maintenance on it. Had the carburetors redone one time after it sit for three years when I lost my sight in 2009. Changed the spark plugs two times. And one trim solenoid. It has been a dang good motor. I am planning on going to a 90 hp 4 stroke when I can.
