Hey guys, Had to change my old ignition switch on my 84 bayliner bass trophy. I have bought a new switch. but it did not come with any info on what each wire went to.. Its a 3 possion 6 terminal ignition Push to Choke. it has a Yellow/Black a yellow red, a purple, a red , a black and a yellow/black.. witch does not match my motors wiring colors. The wiring on the motor goes yellow, purple, white, green, orange , red,blue, black.. Can anyone tell me how id hook my new ignition switch to these colors? :confused:

No clue dude I think you bought the wrong switch. A couple of months ago I bought a mercury ign. switch with a harness attached. I removed the harness from the switch and figured it out. Does your switch have any markinnngs near the wires on the switch?
