Alright so I have a chapperal striker 198 with a 260 mercruiser in it and having a hard time hooking up new sender and limit switches. I have the two bullet connectors going into a purple and two blue wires that are connected at the pump I don't know if that was original or the previous owner had spliced them in either way I do not know if it's correct. The sender I have no clue where it goes it has a female connection and a bullet connector like the trim limit switch any help would be appreciated this boat has been kicking my butt since I got it

The trim gauge is mounted to starboard, the limit is to port. The trim gauge or trim limit senders does not matter which wire goes to which plug, one is a switch and one is a variable resistor. Only thing that matters is don't connect gauge to limit or vise versa

Here is the wiring diagram
