I'm having some engine issues and figured it may be easier to hook up a remote starter switch so I can attempt starting the boat from the back. Any tips on exactly where the clips on the remote starter go on a Volvo 5.0 GXI-B (Fuel Injected) engine? Looks like there are 2 leads that need to be hooked up. Does one go on the positive battery lead, and another on the starter, or a solenoid of some sort somewhere?

Thanks for the help.

Connect remote start on the large starter post and the other on the Yellow/Red on the smaller post. Turn key to ON then go to the motor and start it

Thanks for the tips. So in that diagram is it screw C, and screw D? Are there 2 large posts? Is that the starter solenoid they are hooking to?
