Answer 4

Are you talking about engine wiring or accessories?

When you say "nothing works", are referring to just to the pumps & lights?  Turning the key doesn't start the engine?

Mercury stock wiring harness doesn't have red or red/white wires (never has, at least not since 60hp motors were possible).

Those colors also are not part of the ABYC boat wiring standards.

If you're talking about just the accessories, you either need to find someone with the same make and model hull, or possibly you're looking at a prior owner's DIY wiring scheme.
