How long do regular Merc/Quicksilver switch boxes last?
And what wears them out? Total hours? High rpm? Simple aging since most outboards sit unused for long periods?
I’ve got six ratty looking old switch boxes, two of which are in use on my 1987 2.0l 150. They seem to be perfectly fine. But I have no idea how long to expect them to last? I probably put 50 hours a year on them.
