1988 Yamaha 200 hp ignition problem

[briankwhitt]

I just purchased a 1988 Yamaha 200 hp outboard. It didn't come with the cables that go to the battery. Can anyone tell me where the battery cables connect to the motor? I'm just not sure which post the positive cable hooks up to...please help. I keep blowing a 20amp fuse and can't figure out what's going on. I know the motor ran great...it just came off a Boston Whaler which I rode around on for about 2 hours before purchasing.

The positive cable should go directly to the starter relay, the negative should go to the bottom of the starter.
