I just ordered and received a new rectifier for my Johnson 8hp outboard. However, the wiring on the new rectifier looks a bit different than the old and I am unsure what to hook where. It is clear where the red wire goes but that leaves three yellow ....perhaps it does not matter where the yellow wires go one the connection buss?????? Help would be appreciated. See the pictures below...first is the old rectifier and second is the new one. You can make out that one of the yellow wires on the old rectifier has a blue tracer but not so the new one.

1. Disconnect and remove the old rectifier.
2. Install the replacement rectifier using the original bolts.
3. Connect the yellow wires from the new rectifier to the yellow wires from the stator (ignore any stripes on the stator wires as the new
rectifier does not require the yellow wires to be connected to any particular wire from the stator).
4. Connect the gray tachometer wire with one of the yellow wires.
