Ok here it is goes! I recently bought this motor brought it home and started right up no problems. So my next step mount it to the boat and conect the control box. First problem I ran into was that the 99 motor had a different plug compared to my old style red plug. So I rigged up some little pins to fit in the newer style harness comming from the motor so see if it will start. I turned the key got the beep from the control box and it started like a champ! So my next step was to hard wire it straight to the motor by matching the colors. Like a idiot I forgot to take off the power from the battery and a few wires sparked and boom once I connected all my wires and turned the key I got nothing! I turned the key and no beep no turn over. I took out a plug and jumped the motor with the starter cylinioid by tought them and the motor turned but I got no spark. Even the trim and tilt button is doing nothing... I'm thinking power pack maybe? Well I'm actually hopeinh it's the power back
