Hello Members
Unfortunately, I am an absolute beginner... So, I got a 30hp Mercury approx. 2005 with a solenoid starter with loose wires but now you can imagine that I have some strong doubts about how to fix them. Before I start it my question, is that correct:
- The fat Plus wires from the battery and the one going to the starter still is obvious for me ;-) (brown and yellow tape)
- Black wire is Ground and going from upper terminal to metall/block
and starkly unsure:
- Yellow/red wire is the neutral switch and end at the lower terminal
- 3 Red bundled wires comes from battery and goes to the circuit breaker, the same terminal like the red fat plus from battery
So, hope I could explain my problem in more or less understandable English, can you help, confirm or correct me?
Thanks a lot!
