Hi Jason, I am one of the moderators that tidy up the forums occasionally. This "General" forum is a great place for this question. A lot of us have had one of those engines at one time. I went ahead and deleted the multiple posts on the "Catalina 25" forum.

For 'engine-related' questions the engine forums over on iboats are a good source of information.

Hi Jason,

I have an 1993 Johnson 9.9. with electric start in the garage and I just looked. The line coming in has an all black part and a black with white tracer part....the black goes to the bolt on the solenoid, and the other somewhere below it...sorry i didn't have a flash light with me. I also have the manual for the engine but it's not here at the house. If your motor's age is a '93 I'll look for the book when next at the boat.

As a suggestion, don't remove the electric line at the motors end, rather wrap it around the motor's exterior. I had your problem when some ne'er-do wells attempted to steel the motor and cut the line. Problem with northern sailors is the six month away from the water in the winter...spring brings with it looks of consternation and just plain blank stares at the multitude of little thises and thats that seemingly have no place to be attached. And it doesn't get better with age

Jason, I just added a new line to my Merc. I has electric start, but the PO had removed the cable. I wanted the battery recharging capability, so I reinstalled a new cable. Like Val states above, the black or negative end connects to the engine block, there should be a bolt near the solenoid itself. The solenoid is a heavy duty switch. A small amount of current from the starter button engages the bigger contacts that carry the big current to the starter. The positive end goes to one of two large studs on the solenoid. One of the large studs on the solenoid will have a heavy line that runs to the starter motor. Connect the positive cable end to the other stud (it should only have a small wire connected to it that is the power supply to the starter button).
