Thanks much for the reply. Everything is hooked up as you describe. Ran the OHM test and have 8. Should be good. Solenoid is grounded as you describe. Seems to be boiling down to the mercury switches but unsure how to check them. Do not have a generator.
I have power to the battery lug, power when turning the key to both small lugs but nothing to the starter lug when key turned to start. Don't really know how to bypass the mercury switches but did use the disconnect knife connection to no avail. Can anyone offer any other help with this issue...
Just learned no kill switch required if boat is before 2020 and does not have one. If it has one it must be used. Thanks all for the comments and advice.
I just purchased a 1959 Crestliner with a 1959 Evinrude Lark 35hp. Has anyone had experience with installing the new required kill switch on these motors. Not sure where to hook up. suggestions?? Thanks
