It uses bullet connectors to interface with the engine's wiring harness, making it a direct fit for engines originally equipped with a stud-type ignition pack. The switch box is the core ignition component that fires the ignition coils in sequence, and replacing a worn or failing unit restores proper spark timing and reliable starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch box is designed for Mercury and Mariner 18 HP, 20 HP, 25 HP, 35 HP, and 40 HP outboards from 1980 to 1987. It cross-references directly to several Mercury and CDI part numbers, so it can be used to replace any of those numbers on a compatible engine. Because it retains the bullet connector wiring style, no harness modification is needed when swapping out the original switch box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e CDI Electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114-7452K1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bullet Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stud Type Pack Engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cylinders:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 HP, 20 HP, 25 HP, 35 HP, 40 HP Mercury\/Mariner outboards, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114-7452A-3, 18-5776, 339-7452A-2, 339-7452A-3, 899883230, 9-25101, M899883230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.67 x 4.41 x 2.32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner 18 HP, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner 20 HP, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner 25 HP, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner 35 HP, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner 40 HP, 1980-1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e114-7452A-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18-5776\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e339-7452A-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e339-7452A-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e899883230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-25101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM899883230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the CDI Electronics 114-7452K1 switch box fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 114-7452K1 fits 2 cylinder Mercury\/Mariner outboards rated 18 HP, 20 HP, 25 HP, 35 HP, and 40 HP, model years 1980-1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this switch box use bullet connectors or a stud-type connection?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 114-7452K1 uses bullet connectors, making it a match for engines that were originally equipped with a stud-type ignition pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the 114-7452K1 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e This switch box cross-references to 114-7452A-3, 18-5776, 339-7452A-2, 339-7452A-3, 899883230, 9-25101, and M899883230, so any of those numbers can be replaced with the 114-7452K1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the switch box weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CDI Electronics 114-7452K1 weighs 0.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of this switch box?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 114-7452K1 ships in packaging measuring 5.67 x 4.41 x 2.32 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 114-7452K1 a genuine CDI Electronics part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 114-7452K1 is manufactured by CDI Electronics as a switch box for 2 cylinder Mercury\/Mariner outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this switch box work on a 3 or 4 cylinder Mercury outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 114-7452K1 is built specifically for 2 cylinder Mercury\/Mariner outboards in the 18-40 HP range for 1980-1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installing the 114-7452K1 require rewiring the harness?\u003c\/strong\u003e No rewiring is needed as long as the original harness uses bullet connectors, since the 114-7452K1 is designed to plug into that same connection style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a switch box like the 114-7452K1 actually do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the CD ignition switch box that stores and discharges the electrical energy used to fire the ignition coils on the Mercury\/Mariner 2 cylinder outboard, controlling spark timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 114-7452K1 be used across all the listed horsepower ratings interchangeably?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the same 114-7452K1 switch box covers the 18 HP, 20 HP, 25 HP, 35 HP, and 40 HP Mercury\/Mariner outboards from 1980-1987 as long as the engine uses the bullet connector, stud-type-pack wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 114-7452K1 compatible with engines outside the 1980-1987 range?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 114-7452K1 is specified for the 1980-1987 model years on the listed Mercury\/Mariner horsepower ratings;
