Built to replace factory part numbers such as 883072T, 815279-3 and 854515, it converts alternator AC to DC while controlling voltage to prevent under- or over-charging. The unit is intended for models that use the 6-wire terminal layout (Gray tach, Yellow AC, Red sense, Red B+, Black B-, Yellow AC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Mercury engines and model years will this replace work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Danbojit unit covers many Mercury\/Mariner outboards across several horsepower classes and model years.
