hello all, hope all is well. i have been trying to figure out what 2 wires i have hanging on my harness, but not connected to anything go to. i think i may have an idea. i dont think i have a circuit breaker, that some others have. there is a bracket where it may go, but i dont have one, and im wondering if possibly thats what one or both of those wires are for? have a look, let me know your thoughts. im thinking possibly the breaker was eliminated, and wired direct? and possibly one or both of these grounds may have something to do with? does anyone have the same boat as me or simialr? 1999 searay 185 bowrider? and could take a look or a picture so i can figure this out? here are some pictures. thei 1st 2 are of my boat, the 3rd picture is from an ebay motor i founds that has a breaker. do i need a breaker? do all boats have them? what is the purpose of them?

Get that thing going and do a couple of oil changes to flush the milk out.

A couple of loose ground wires are normal as was explained in your other thread.

Will do, my new exhaust manifolds should show up tomorrow, I was just trying to figure out if I needed the circuit breaker or not
