Mercury 2.5L 200 rigging questions

[jasoncooperpcola]

I am trying to get whats needed to rig my 94 Mercury 2.5L 200. So far i have decided on a Mercury Commander binnacle control, Teleflex Extreme cables, and Mercury Flagship gauges.

I keep seeing Gen II controls and everybody recommends them? Whats the difference and is the Commander a Gen II?

I found a wire harness locally today for $50, its 14' long and has the correct connector on it for the engine. I have figured out that the Red/Yellow wire is for Starting, the black/yellow stripe wire is for shutoff, and the Yellow/black stripe wire is for "enrichment" i assume that is the choke right? That leaves a purple, brown, grey , and red and black wire i dont know what they are for. I assume the red and black wires are for power/negative for the ignition, gauges,etc. I still need a key switch and a tilt/trim harness to go from the outboard to the remote.
