Re: 1987 Sea Ray Seville 20ft

Looks to me like #5 and #7 pin are the ones, as long as you have the correct wiring diagram for the engine.

#5 will light up the ignition and a "momentary contact" of #7 will activate the starter.

You do not jump the pins together . . . if that is what you were asking.

So if you look at the picture of my engine, you can see 2 wires stuffed into the round connector. One is for the ignition (#5) and one is for the starter (#7). There are also +12v and Ground leads running to the engine . . . the same way as if were installed in the boat.

when I wanted to run the engine, I connected the #5 wire to the + battery terminal and then just touched the #7 wire to the +battery terminal for a second or two to run the starter. Once the engine starts, #7 is left disconnected, same as if you were starting it with a key switch.

If you do try to start the engine, make sure it is well anchored by the engine mounts, etc.

Morning Tpenfield,
Well lastnight i finally had time to play with the motor . I tried wiring it up like you suggested But Im still not able to get the starter to crank anymore. I have a brand new battery and just had the starter tested and all thats fine.

I tried to jumping the circuit breaker wires ( took them off ran a bolt thru the eyes and put a nut at the end ) to see if that would let it the starter crank over. I also checked the wire on the wire diagram from below and they seems to be correct. The only thing I havent tired was to jump the Stater Slave Solenoid.. Im thinking of #7 Yel/Red + Yel/Blk And Jumping Red/Pur + Yel/Red to see if the start will spin.

<<<<<<< To recap>>>>>>>

I had the start replaced. connected the starter wires I was able to get the starter to crank by jumping #7 Stater Slave Solenoid Red/Pur + Yel/Red .. I noticed that my Igniton module wasnt connectedor grounded. So I reconnected and grounded and tried to start the motor again. The starter clicked on time like it wanted to start then that was it . wont do anything now.
