Hows it going everybody!! So I bought a new engine for my boat the guy who took the old engine out didn' label the wires on the harness and I am having trouble finding out the right places they go I hooked it up the best I could and when trying to start it blows the 10 amp ignition fuse under dash if anybody can help me out I'd sure appreciate it thanks in advance

Would help to know which 4.3 it is?

Here is a GL 5.7 but wiring would be the same for a V6

Guess it might be close enough, the one above is a GL-C & D
I have some others older and one newer

The motor ran ok, motor was replaced and now it blows a fuse. You have something wired wrong and need to find it. Check that you didn't connect the coil wires and choke wires in the wrong order
