HELP WIRING EVINRUDE175

[RAGINGBULL]

Hi Guys
I am replacing my motor and cant seem to remember which wire goes where
It all semed pretty simple 2 months ago.....................
I have 2 wired from the battery earth and a big red one +12v
I am sure they are on the correct place (but ive met murphy before)
Does someone have a diagram or a brief sketch they can send me or advise.
The earth is connected to the bottom of the starter motor and the +12v to the right of a square black box mounted under the starter motor " Starter motor contactor i presume" on a pin with another red wire
I am to scared to put the battery on ....
And i reeaaally want to fish this weekend if possible.
Men dont ask directions you know..??

Please help
Mark

Hi Mark, the earth from the battery should go to the starter motor and the +ve should terminate on one of those copper lugs on the side of the starter solenoid the other lug on the solenoid should head to the hot side of the starter motor.
I assume the square black box has these two lugs and is therefore the solenoid?
