Alright, major progress today!
New Floor sections in!
(Reserved for pic)
Wired in the ignition switch wire from the head unit. Picked up new terminals, and ring terminals for all of the positive and ground wires for the lights, stereo, and outboard. Tested the ignition wire that I ran for the head unit, head unit turned on, tested ignition switch for the outboard, ignition switch works great. We had a couple glitches with the control center. The throttle was getting stuck and wouldn't allow reverse, took it all apart and found quite a bit of crud in the control center. We need a new shift detent ball bearing and re-grease some of the sections in the control center, namely the shift lever. The outboard did run, we found some issues with the carburetors leaking fuel and the fuel pump couldn't pump because the carburetors can't hold fuel or pressure in them. The next step is to disassemble the carburetors and do a rebuild and reseal them unless we find out they are cracked. All of the wiring is done and the outboard does run!
