    Hate to tell you, but there really isn't one. The boat came from the factory with the basics (like lights, bilge pump). The boat was then rigged with all the extras.

    If you are having a problem, it would be better to post the problem. That way someone that has seen or dealt with it can give you a good answer.

    Ok, Your outboards should come with wiring harnesses. The Harnesses will/should have connectors for instrumentation, start switches, neutral safety switches...etc.

    There is alot to that goes into this. Shifter and throttle controls (make or brand), battery and battery switches and so on. Your boat being a '99 I am assuming that is was rigged at one time and if anything is left that may be a good thing if your engines are compatible.

    If you have nothing but a stripped boat, you have to figure out what type of controls were used (if you want to use that type again) or you may have to be ingenuitive to fit a new type of control.

    You're going to have to run all the wires from the console to the engines. Makos used a tube or channel. When you run the wires through make sure you get them all at once (it's just easier). We used to attach an extra rope or cable in case something was needed later. Have you ever heard of the 'Fox Chicken Grain Riddle'? It's kind of like that, some things go from console to engine, some go from engine to console. When you run one wires one way pull an extra cable through so you can go the other way. If you plan it correctly you should only need to do 2 pulls.

    Sorry, I'm not trying to confuse you more ;-)
