    Did this on my 04 and you will have to change the main motor wire harness. Good luck as i had to cut the end off my old harness to get it out.

    3L Mercury Forum is just a couple down the list (if you're referring to a 250 ProXS Optimax model).

    4S Mercury Forum is one lower, (if you're referring to a 250 ProXS Fourstroke).
