~~Then I put my old wire harness on the new motor but switched alternators do to not understanding the wiring.
the old one

the new one hast two wires that don't correspond to my wiring harness

but the old one works fine so I think ill be ok

I am looking for ideas for the engine cover for the back of this boat. anyone have some good pics of an easy way to do the back end of this boat. keeping in mind it will be used for salmon fishing so netting and setting lines will be what the space is used for
Thanks
