J88MSLCCC Rectifier melted wires and small fire?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1988, 88hp Johnson. I added a rebuilt trim/tilt assembly, new relay box and wired to switch, starter and ignition. Trim tilt works great. Went for maiden voyage and the rectifier was melting wires and started a small fire.

Did the addition of the trim/tilt assembly change the draw on the electrical system?

Is this as simple as a new rectifier and lead assembly( 0583408) ? Or replacing the rectifier/regulator under the flywheel? (0585195)

Thank you
