Thanks, Vance. That is what I decided to do. I will splice in a new waterproof fuse holder. I didn't want to end up buying and replacing the entire wiring harness.

My motor is original, never rebuilt, but many electrical replacements (stator, flywheel, rectifier, power packs, re-glued magnets in flywheel, etc.). Rebuilt the carbs last year. Now running well--but need to get this latest gremlin solved.

My 1984 Outrage 22 has the 129 gallon tank, so it's weight when full I imagine will be similar to your Revenge, though your Revenge will have better balance with the weight forward.

With a 15 pitch, 14 3/4" diameter Stiletto prop (I highly recommend it), I get 42 mph at 5600 rpm with a typical load. Not a speed demon, but holeshot is tremendous. Cruises at 3500-4500 rpm nicely. With the Stiletto (I've tried others) the boat comes alive and handles excellently, it responds like a much smaller, lighter boat. Best mileage at cruise (~3500-4000 rpm) is 2.1 mpg. Wide open you'll drop under 2.

Let me know how yours does as you get it together. Good luck, and it's good to have someone with the same motor to swap performance stats, ideas, and troubleshooting.
