"I have to replace my interrupt switch,after I had some docking problems. It would have been funny if it was not me.
It now comes on a large plate that will not bolt up on top of my tappet cover on y 1986 140 merc. Has anyone ran into this?"

I ran into the same problem on my 4 cyl. I had to manufacture a 1/4" thick aluminum plate to mount the newer plate onto, I then drilled the plate to match the valve cover bolt pattern. A real PITA but it works.
The instruction that came with the newer plate indicated a remote mount for the new plate where ever it was handy?
Good Luck
