Maybe, but the OMC relays are mounted in a relay/connection box on board

No wonder they went out of business ;-)

The location is up to the installer, not the factory. Our 1981 V-4, for
example, has never had a relay fail, but it was installed high & dry and
is stored inside. Our 1973 V-4, with the "lawn mower-automotive" type
relays, is all original too, although mounted lower in the Glastron and
next to the battery, it too is always indoors or in a hoist.
