For some reason they will sell you a remanufactured throttle body for $400 but they won't do it for a wiring harness. It don't make no sense.

Too many wires to replace. If you look at a picture of a defective wiring harness you will see that almost all the wires go bad...sooner or later.
I think that the marine wires was a suggestion of a possible replacement material, not that a person had actually done it.
