mariner/yamaha to merc ignition switch

[fishply]

I did a complete mod to a 1987 bass tracker to a river boat center console, all done except the wiring for the ignition. the wires from the motor....
red
black
blue
green
white
brown
pink
wires from switch.....
red
black
purple
black/yellow
yellow/black
yellow/red
I basically need to know which goes where and where my neutral safety switch and kill switch fit in.
By no means am I electronically inclined. I did hook up a new fuse block and switches for lights,bilge,etc. So with a little help I think I can figure this out.. Thanks for the help. FISH ON!

also this is a basic idea of how the switch works just ignore the evinrude colors and use the ones you have

Re: mariner/yamaha to merc ignition switch

Thank you. those do help. so I dont need purple if I'm not running anything off switch? No tach or accessory in use. And I believe my motor was made by Yamaha so just cross ref the wires with merc. neutral switch to yellow/red? kill switch to black/yellow?
