HELP!! I have a wiring diagram for the motor I just bought but the wires on mine don't match. For instance, the boat is not cutting off with the key. Everything I have read says it probably an issue with the black/yellow wire. However, I don't have a yellow/black wire. I only have a brown/yellow wire. Could this be the same thing? Also, the wires look old and fragile. I am considering replacing the wiring with a new wire hireness. Anyone know if this is something I should try or should I take it somewhere. I am a mechanic so I have wiring knowledge. I just dont know if this is something that can be figured out.

Thanks!
