hello,
I bought a 04 15hp mercury 4 stroke in feb. The guy i bought it from bought a bigger motor for his bass boat. He started it when i went to look at it, so i know it runs. He gave me a mercury wire harness, but its for a 40hp merc.(harness #830201 1) not a 15hp. Im not even sure if it will even work. Not all the wire colors match from harness to motor. So i guess what i need to know is what color wire on harness plugs into what color on the motor.

starter side of motor. brown is the starter trigger wire. hot wire from battery goes to the first post on seleniod. ground goes to mounting bolt to start (correct)

this is the wire harness for the 40hp mercury. There is a wire that is light brown(almost pinkish) with a light blue line that was cut flush with outer coating. not sure if its needed or not. I hope that i provided enough info. i thought the pics would help out alot. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
