I have a 1969 SeaRay with an inline 6cyl motor. The starter silenoid has two small terminals, one labeled "S" with a yellow wire run to the gear shifter neutral switch then goes to the "ST" (Starter) on the back of the ignition switch, and one labeled "R" with a white wire which is not connected to anything, and one big terminal, which is connected to the battery. The white wire belongs somewhere and I can't figure out where. I have recently replaced the ignition switch that has "ST" (Starter), "ACC" (Accessory), "IG" (Ignition), and "BAT" (Battery) on the back. The gauges are all connected to the "IG" and the battery to "BAT" and the fuse box to the "ACC". I get the problem of trying to start the motor and everything turnsover but will not stay running. It is like it wants to try to constantly start. Is my setup incorrect with the wires and where should the white wire go. (This wiring is very simple for the experience and unfortunately this is my first boat. I am throughly stumpped...? <br />Thanks for your help in advance
