Brown is likely from the trigger, is it running well? A picture would help greatly

There should be no brown wires on a 1989 50 hp motor.

THere should be 2 yellow wires that connect to the terminal strip, then on to feed the cd module.

Also 2 green with yellow stripe that feed the rectifier, to charge the battery.

Guessing that someone has used some non original parts over the years.

ok but it does run so it must be the charging wires and im 99% that thay are brown will thay cause a problem

Well test at the battery and see if its charging. Worst case is leaving you dead in the water somewhere with a dead battery. If they are charging wires then reconnect to rectifier. Test battery again and make sure your not over charging.
