What is it that you need to know, positive cable, should be red, to the postive + post, negative cable, should be black, to the negative - post, there may be a small wire that hooks to the positive for radio memory. Did they cut the cables, take the little box it sets in, need more info to really be able to answer your question. I had a 87 Seville, 17 foot, 3.0 Merc, I still have my manual that I bought for it so I could look up some info when I get home.

I am realy not sure, I think my problem is with the belge pumps. I have two wires that i am not sure were they go. I am pretty sure I had it right but it would be better if I knew for sure. I had my motor turning over but had a problem with the starter. I want to make sure I did not hook it up wrong and hurt my starter. Thanks for the reply.
