Mercury 50HP Electric issue

[Curly1958]

Had a couple wires melted on harness # 84-850220 A1 (see attached picture). Two yellow wires have no identification markings. Any idea of where the wires attach to?

Well since the pictures are poor close ups & we have no idea what engine you are working on.....?

From the harness pictures I'd have to guess it's an early 50 4 stroke.

Typically yellow is stator output to the voltage regulator or rectifier.
