I use these butt end connectors for the wiring. Once you crimp the wires, you use a heat gun or hair dryer to activate the heat shrink tubing to provide added water tight seal.

If you are installing the ebox up front, like the rad dudes setup, you will need to perform an additional step in the ebox.
The short spark plug wire goes to the rear cylinder, therefore relocating the box up front causes an issue that it will no longer reach. To resolve this without added cost, locate the three coil plugs. In this ZXI box there were Black, White and Green
I identified that the black and white plugs were front and rear spark plugs. Therefore, it was these two which needed swapped connections. The green was the middle so that remained as is. Notice how the plugs are not black w white and white with black (and green with green)

It really is. ScottieMac walked me through it, then I realized its pretty easy and tried to document it that way.
This is what the box looks like now. I used RTV silicone and plugged the unused outlets. I might re-open one later for a bilge pump.
Does anyone know of a blank (no wires) black cap I can use here for a cleaner look?

It finally turns over from the switch but I have to wait to fire it up in the hood since it will be loud
Thanks again Scottie for your help!

Well, I figured out my electrical issue. After getting the wiring set, the motor turned over. The next day I wanted to fire it up, but it wouldn't turn. I by passed the ebox again and connected the battery to the starter and it was fine. I changed start stop switch. So the only two things left were a bad start relay or it wasn't grounded. I tried the cheapest thing first and connected a ground wire from the battery to the ebox housing. BINGO!
It works now, fires up like a beast.
How does this setup normally have a ground? Deleting the huge wiring harness must remove a needed ground wire or somewhere in my wiring a ground wire broke? I guess I'll run a permanent ground wire battery to ebox now. A bit strange but its fixed. Any thoughts or experiences from other forum members?

I run secondary grounds on every ebox I've built. Simply run a wire direct from ground post where all grounds land (at post in ebox), direct to battery negative terminal.

I agree, we run secondary grounds on just about everything. PWC motors vibrate a ton to begin with.

Thanks Chris and Scottie for the feedback. Given the fact mine wouldn't even start without the ground wire, I think this point needs to be highlighted for the build.

Can anyone confirm the yamaha switch to kawasaki eBox wiring conversion? I called and emailed the guys at JetSki Solutions but no reply as of yet.
This is what I believe is correct
Yamaha switch wire to Kawi wire
White to Black
Black to White
Red to Red/blue
Brown to Yellow/red

Chris, Thanks for the fast reply. From your updated diagram, it appears I need to make a correction and connect white wire to white wire. Addtionally, if the black Kawi wire is grounded what do I do with the black yamaha wire comming off the start/stop switch?
Yamaha switch wire to Kawi wire
White to White
Black to ???
Red to Red/blue
Brown to Yellow/red
??ground to Black?

Red to Red/blue
Brown to Yellow/red
??ground to Black?

Remember, K.I.S.S. (KeepItSimpleSir)
You're only dealing with four wires exiting box for the switch. One issue I have with my diagram getting circulated on multiple forums, sites and on Facebook over the past years, is guys don't know the post (my hx1100) it originated from. I suggested ALL the factory connectors/plugs inside the ebox be cut an removed. Not only does it make it worlds easier to figure out what goes where, what gets cut and what gets spliced, it alleviates the possible failure at the old connections. 9 out of 10 may "look" good, but they have bitten many guys in the rear end, as the prong was the weak point inside the connector. My diagram also doesn't show the wires associated with the stator or coil wire colors... that should be a no brainier as to not be cut/spliced/removed!.... or so I thought.
YES, my diagram has been questioned when guys have had issues, but only for them to eat crow when I showed what they did wrong!
The ebox can appear to be a rats nest for some who have never done it before, but luckily I'm only a PM away if there's a question.
Kawasaki colors from ebox TO Yamaha switch are :
Yellow w/red - Brown
Red - Red
White - White
Black - Black
Your box should work WITHOUT a secondary ground. I would suggest unplugging the four prong blue plug at the regulator/rectifier, and check your black wire(s) at that prong for being broken.
