Here is my wiring and starter update..
" Wow", after crawling around under the helm checking wires for shorts or bad connections for days on end, and hitting my head on the dash 50+ times, reading the repair manual over and over, replacing the ignition key switch, poring through all the blogs I could find, and of course following all the very sound advice from everyone that sent to me on my I-boat post GUESS WHAT I FOUND wrong by mistake or just plan luck? There are two wires that connect to the throttle / gear shifter and one was discounted. After I hooked it back into the shifter everything is working as it should and the boat started right up. (WELL) everything is working great with the exception of my tech. Every time I power up it reads 31k without the motor even running, but I guess that's another days job coming. I hope this post helps anyone else that may have the same issue I had. But, I should did learn a lot more about my boats wiring going through the research-testing, and knocking my head a few time.
Thank You All For You Help..
