Recently purchased a 1987 SeaRay for a winter project. (It is fun, but I am in it over my head!)
Has 165 470 Merc.
Switched it over to electronic ignition and adding a new coil at the same time.
I did not realize that the existing coil had external resistor, while new one just says 12 volts.
The red and black wires (not shown) coming from the electronic ignition is pretty self explanatory, but I wasn't sure about these wires that were removed from the previous coil.
Grey: Negative
Purple &
Purple w/yellow stripe: Positive
Do I need to tie-off one of these because of the new coil?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
