My thoughts too. I would check the obvious stuff... bilge pump, blower, fuel pump... anything it could be close to. Make sure they work, and then make sure it keeps you up at night thinking about what else it could be... buahahaha! :twisted:

It looks to have power going to it (green corrosion) on the purple wires. So tie it up out of the bilge.

Tied it up today... I checked everything and I have no idea where it goes. I guess the next time I have it in for service I will ask...

Thanks for all your help..

I checked the ABYC color code chart and purple is supposed to be for ignition wires. Might be for another engine option that was available?

So many choices. I don't think I have an hour meter so that possibly could be it. And option I don't have

I am going to get a small mirror and look around to make sure there is nothing that I missed
