i am trying to use the wire harness and boat controls harness from a 1981<br />merc 402 and im trying to use it on my 1978 distributor style mariner 1150,<br />since my 1150 wire harness and boat harness are garbage, and i have these<br />here in shop....<br />i took your advice. i have a internal engine harness from my 1981 merc 402<br />40hp 2 cylinder.<br /><br /><br />i have the following wire colors:<br />yellow /red<br />yellow / blk<br />black /red X2<br />grey<br />black /white<br />black<br />red x2<br /><br />my question is this......<br />what connections are needed on my inline 6 1150 1978 , distributor style,<br />and what colors would be appropriate from the 1981 wire harness im now going<br />to use? does that make sense?<br /><br />i know i need a constant hot on the switchbox red term, a switched hot on<br />the switchbox white term, a temparary ignition yellow for the selenoid, and<br />of course a big red for posotive and a big black for negative. anything<br />else?

Yellw/red; To starter solonoid<br />Yellow/black: Stop wire To brown terminal<br />Black/red: Used on the 40 not the inline<br />Black/white: Ditto<br />Grey: Tacho feed<br />Black: earth<br />Red: constant 12V<br />The loom you have does not seem to have switched 12 V, look for a purple wire, it may be taped back<br />Hope this helps
