Good day, just purchased a used 2006 Tohatsu 40 hp engine to push my 17' Seaway lobster boat for recreation lobstering. The engine did not come with battery leads. I believe the positive lead goes to starter solenoid on top front of engine but don't know where the negative lead goes. Any pictures of both leads connecting would be greatly appreciated. Surfed web for hours with no luck.. Thanks Brendan

The ground cable typically connects directly to the frame of the starter motor on the MD40B. I would suggest that you want wire of at least 8-gauge or heftier. You also need a 1000-amp battery for any TLDI motor.
