Not to worry John, pics of both ;)
I put a fully charged battery in. With the switch off there were sparks when attaching the battery terminal. After being hooked up for a few minutes I noticed the coil was very hot. Is that normal? If you jump from positive to the switch, then turn the key to start, the wire becomes extremely hot. Also, the ignition light is on. If I push the button in the wire becomes extremely hot. Like a direct short. |

Hmmm, the coil shouldn't be getting any juice at all to get hot unless the key is on...
Here is the 89 Dash diagram to get you started: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/downloads/1989_SN_Wiring_Diagram.pdf |

That wire going directly from the key to the battery... which battery terminal is it going to?

Wow. Thanks! This will help tremendously. Should the positive post be on the bow end? There were no markings on the cables.

The next would be to figure out which post on they key the wire is going to.
There is a B (battery but it usually comes from the engine not directly from the battery), I for ignition and S for start. The wire should be going fro battery positive to the B on the key. If it's going to the I, that would explain why the coil is always live, but wouldn't necessarily explain why things are getting hot. |

Is there a separate breaker / fuse for the ignition?

On mine there is... I think there is on an 89 as well. I'm not sure what year they changed over from fuses to push button breakers but I think before 89. So, on mine: -the dash hot feed comes from the engine breaker -Goes to the input side of the dash ignition push button breaker -The output side of the dash ignition push button breaker feeds: *The input side of the key switch *The input side of the horn switch *The input side of the blower switch *The input side of both bilge pump switches (auto and manual) *Maybe the Nav slight switch? *The input side of whatever accessory switches you have |

Thanks! Electrical is all sorted out. Battery installed wrong. ;( Aligned the motor to the drive-shaft. Prop now turns easily. Engine runs great. Changing oil today. I notice a couple gauges have a haze on the inside. Is it possible to dismantle them for cleaning?

The tranny has a dirty neutral. I unhooked the linkage and there aren't any click positions. The transmission engages forward and reverse but starts to turn to the forward position when in between. Seems a little noisy too. Does the trans need to be reworked?
