So Pin #8 will be hot if I hook battery to solenoid?
Do I then have to jump 12V+ to pin 6 (or anywhere else) to simulate key
being "on"?

The little secret of older outboards is they are on until you short
something out.
If you jump out ther starter solenoid it will probably start. Stopping
it is the trick. Lots of techs have been hurt because of this.
