So I did it. Connected + to - and vice versa, started the engine and I saw white smoke in the engine compartment. Shut it off. I have been driving it on the ocean a couple of times.
Engine: Mercruiser 1.7 sterndrive (boat from 2006)
BUT. Today I noticed this:
It became dust when I touched it. So lucky that this didnt happen when I was out on the ocean. I can see it had a blue plastic on it. I have measured with multimeter and I cant see that it is interfering with other cables. I will install a new blue wire (2.5^2 ?) from the starter directly to the wire harness where it connects to the instrumentpanel harness.
But does this cable split up and go other ways? There is a LOT of work if I am disconnecting all cables on the engine. I cant tell from the wiring diagram. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bgid6zr4ee1462t/Wiring diagram 3970674.pdf?dl=0
Any idea what I should do? I guess this is the wire that gives power to the instrumentpanel etc.
