Smalltownbassin just went through a meltdown problem similar to yours and the switch boxes were double firing. Its awful hard to tell the cause just from the pics especially with the two main culprits out of the picture. Crappy fuel can be a problem too with detonation problems or ethanol fuels that have soaked water in.
id say rebuild the powerhead with all new seals. Clean and flow your injectors. Check fuel pressure is ip to snuff and to be safe it might be best to replace the entire electric combo stator, switch boxes, trigger and regulators. Its easy to spend other peoples moneyHydrostream dreamin

There was a bulletin to set pro max ignition to 23 dgr advance
Also what is your ecu type and vst type?
The external and internal vst run different pressures
You might have gotten lucky on a very light boat
When it's rebuild you might wanna go for the adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Go on ebay and search for mercury fuel management system/assembly for extra injectors
