Hey all, I posted this in my restore thread but didn't get any responses so I thought this would be a more appropriate section to start a new thread.
The first set of wires come from the throttle handle and have red, green and blue wires. Do these go to instruments?

The second set comes from the rear and have red, black and blue or green can't really tell.



I have a 93 evinrude 120 vro. I'm guessing the red and black are hot and ground. Does this have to have a fuse somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the red is bringing the power to the switch, colored wires take the power back to the appropriate relay, to close the relay and take the power to the pump.

I read that right here on iboats sometime in the last year and I thought "How simple is that? Easiest way ever to remember what's what."
