Re: Simple wiring question

Welcome to iboats fellow cheesehead. :) <br /><br />The black negative grounds to the block. Some have a place to screw to the base under the block toward the back. Red positive to one side of the starter solenoid. (One solenoid big terminal leads to the starter. Batttery + goes on the other big one.)

The event is June 24. Even if you dont have the boat up and running you are still invited. Lots of people there with boats and a bunch of interesting people there to chat with.
