Glad you found it :) The good news is that the unit is cheap and it's not model specific. The same unit is used on a variety of Mercury engines. I accidently broke mine while removing my engine from my Cruisers, Inc boat before scraping it a few weeks back. I got a used one off eBay for less than $20 and there were several listed... just do a search on eBay for a Mercury tilt switch. I'll post a pic of what the unit looks like off the engine tomorrow morning.

Phat, nothing to apologise about.. I have no pride of ownership...the trick is to help out a fellow boater.. Two heads are always better than one.
