    Mercury 8 pin harness wiring

    Hi guys I recently bought a merc 8 pin harness. I rebuilt my checkmate from the core up and now I'm to the wiring portion. Boat was gutted when I got it and I'm not familiar with the wiring. There are 6 random wires near the ignition switch I'm assuming went to gauges. I know grey is tach but does anyone have info one the other 5? (Pink), (black and white) , (tan and blue), (black), (tan).
