Kind of got confused and can't recall which wire from my Johnson outboard is plus and which is minus. one wire from battery to outboard has a white stripe in it--I assume that's the positive-- can anyone reassure me on that??? when I disconnected the battery and removed it for the winter, I didn't mark the wires!!

Thanks!

I just went and looked at my 94 208 with a Johnson motor. You are right, the wire with the white stripe is connected to the positive post through the battery selector switch.
