I just recently bought a 1986 Mariner 90 hp outboard with Quicksilver controls. Can you tell me what model controls these are as well as a where a few of the wires that are outside the harness go??
There are two wires, one Purple and one Black, cut the same length? Is that for the speedometer or Tach & ground?
Then there are two more wires cut real short close to the internal wires in the box. One Black, one Red.
I need to know where these go?
When I first hooked up the short Red & Black wires assuming they were to go to the Battery (Red to Red, Black to Black), as soon as I touch the battery with them, the engines starts to kick over, even with the key in the off position??

Please help.
Thanks
