    repost in the mercury forum or have JB or another mod move this post. when I get back later if you have no replies I can help. I will need to know how the back of your switch is labeled,the old switch to if you have it. and we will need to know which control box you have. do you have the harness from the engine to the control box? if so post all the wire colors you have at the control box end.
    no tech questions by PM, they wont get answered.

    Here it is. Balck = ground; red = Positive from battery; Yellow goes to neutral inter lock switch; White is positive from ignition on; Orange ( Salmon ) is off / kill; grey is choke; Bown is tach.
