Quick rundown. Building a 16' Flatbottom, 135 1973 6CYL Merc. Motor's at the builders, and don't want to bother him with niggling questions.
Switch/wiring in the box I have is corroded junk. I have an old Johnny switch/choke that I will run off the harness. Foot throttle, box only for shifting now. Neutral lock out won't be used. Only looking for what wires come from where, and what would go to what (simple question, huh?)
Need a ground, hot, start, and then run a hot to the choke and a ground. Motor will get separate kill switch wires, and the tach. Also will run new heavy gauge wires to the batt out the throttle opening to the batt for good solid grounds, so the harness cables are cut and taped off (junk anyway). Planning on this boat taking a lot of pounding, so I want everything secure as possible, with little to go wrong/rub/fall off. Heres a couple pix. Any help appreciated..thanks.
