Good day to all. I have a 92 chris craft concept 228 cuddy. For the 2 years ive owned the boat i have always had shifting issues that i feel are related to the wiring. Previous owner installed MSD Distributor and Coil. However the tach wire connection from distributor isnt wired nor is the black wire from coil side of harness. Engine is a GM 350 small block 5.7L. I noticed there is a set of wires (factory wires) that have been cut near the rear of distributor as well as a disconnected wire from the alternator. The 2 wires cut at tbe rear near tbe trim sender connector look like its tan black stripe and a black wire. I have the clymers manual but there is an area that is not identified. Could these 2 wires be what i need to splice for tach and ground? Also upon further investigation i noticed the purple white wire from alternator wasnt wired to the choke however a red wire was wired from the 50 amp fuse to the choke. Is it possible if i connected these 3 wires this could solve my shifting problem? I apologize in advance but i inherited alot of problems but am trying to address 1 by 1 with this being the first. Should i mention that there is not kill switch installed (might have been removed). I do believe prior owner had new cables and control box installed. The shift control box also has the second trim / tilt switch (i think thats the trailer mode if i did my research correct) but its not wired to the controller. Yes i know i took alot of chances running the boat with these issues but i am trying to correct them as much as i can. Thanks to covid i cant afford a mechanic at this time but i need to get her running right. The area in the wiring diagram i need help identifying is highlighted.
