I have a 1987 Evinrude 225, E225TXCUB on my 1984 Outrage 22. I've been trying to track down a very intermittent starting problem (intermittently won't crank) and in the process I damaged the 20 amp fuse holder on the port side of my engine. The connection was brittle (ironically, the fuse was intact) and when I opened the fuse holder, I inadvertently tore out the wire that connects to the top ring of the fuse holder. Is there any way to correct this (splice a new fuse holder?).

The fuse seems extraordinarily seated in the fuse holder, and it may in fact be corroded together. Advice welcome!
