('95 Mariner 90 0G242454/ '95 Tracker Pro-v17) Was working under the console and noticed these detached wires: black, looks with blue stripe in the photo but its solid black (ground?) and the other looks like purple red stripe or maybe pink? Anyone know what they're for?
Standard boat wire colors say:

"Purple pink red stripe- Port Ignition Power"

Doesn't mean much to me.

You need to trace them out, as boat wiring is not always standard. Pink is usually fuel sender or bilge pump. Purple/red is usually switched +12VDC, but without tracing them, it is a wild guess.

Guessing a connection for a gps/sounder. Will need to buzz out to be sure

As others have said, trace them out. Is there any voltage across them?

Check for voltage with both the key on and off. If power one way or the other as dingbat said probably power supply for some accessory that the owner kept.

Being a Tracker package, any chance Tracker would have a wiring diagram??

Even with an original wiring diagram, I would trace 'em out. A lot can happen in 28 years.

Eureka! I found one (courtesy Tracker Boats). I had to magnify it but it looks like stereo leads. Agree?
