Default 1976 Mercury 115 inline 6 timing

I have removed the flywheel from the inner hub without marking their alignment. I need to re-install the flywheel now but don't know how to correctly align so I can still use the timing decal. Please help!

Position the #1 piston at TDC. (you can use a screwdriver to confirm this...accuracy is not crucial)

Install the outer flywheel on the hub such that the flywheel marking lines up with the pointer at TDC. Be sure to torque those bolts to spec.
