I'm trying to get the key switch wired on a boat I just bought. I took the switch out to test it and labeled the wires to reinstall. With the lack of space to work the tape came off a few of the wires and I'm having difficulty figuring what goes where. The switch has five posts. the bottom says "Bat" going clockwise the next one is M, then S, A and another M. There are seven wires (actually 8 but two purple ones are together) I-double purple 1-purple 2-black 1-red 1-white 1-black/yellow (Kill). Can anyone help me with the proper wiring. Before I started the key didn't do anything but the choke toggle worked. Now nothing works.
Thanks Mike

Red goes to Bat
Purple wires go to A
White goes to S
Black wires go to one of the M
Black/yellow goes to the other M
