honda bf15 wires??

[joebob14]

I just got a boat with a honda bf15, electric start. Runs great but im wondering what the four wires are hanging out by the tiller handle. the wires for the starter are on the other side and Im thinking these must be for charging the batterey but why four wires so I dont want to hook anything up without some help from someone who knows. thanks

timark80, I think I found our answer. I did some reaserch through some other sites and found out that these "extra" wires are to run to your console if you have one to add a keystart. I cheked on my engine and it looks like the wire to charge the batterey runs from the alt. to the starter sylinoid and connects to the wire going to the batterey from there. I have not run mine long enough to ware the batterey down yet but im just going to let it go and use the pull start if it does die. I will post again when I find out for sure, I hope your engine has a pull start to in case Im wrong.
