Thanks James,
I've got power to the controls..... 4 wires. There also is a "buzzer"
in line. Could this be bad?

Anyone have a wiring diagram? I have the one that came from Bayliner
but that was with the Force motor so i am not sure if the controls are
origianl or not. My guess is that they are not original.

Hello,

Newbie with a used boat....

I have no power at the ignition switch. When I jump power to the
switch, everything works great. I took the Quicksilver controls out
last night thinking it might have something to do with the nuetral
safety switch but it appears fine (best I could tell) I will check it
again tonight.

The controls are Quicksilver with the only number I could find stamped
in the backing plate #1107. The outboard motor is a 1987 XR2 Black Max
Mercury. The motor runs fine. Like I said, if I jump the switch it
starts right up.

Help, help. I would love to take the kids out at least once this year
in the boat.

I appreciate your time.

Dan
