The part that I recently ordered and received based on the serial number

my engine was a Mercury Quicksilver "84-826802A12" but when I opened the
box
the new blue and green output wires to the trim/tilt pump are at least 14"
too short. Also, my "hot" red wire uses a "bullet" style connector not a
ring connector as shown in photo #1 below.

My engine is a: 1996 Mercury 60HP "Bigfoot" SN: OG330757

I hope the photos I uploaded here will help someone help me identify the
correct part number for the relay wiring harness:

Thanks.

I saw your other picture of the socket too. You got the "classic"
harness that they used on the 1990 era engine. I bet your S/N is right
on the cusp. I would try again with a dealer who can bump your S/N up
a year.

Very good suggestion. I will run this past them. I might also just try to
find the new female spade-lug terminals and re-terminate the wires on the
sockets myself. Getting frustrating. Good thing I wont be running again
until Spring.
