Over the past week I have been working on my boat getting it ready for the river. The other night it was running fine and then all the sudden when I went to start it again...nothing. I diagnosed the problem to the starter solenoid. I went to the marine store got a new one which has an extra post, but was told it was the only one they carry for pcm engines. I got home and hooked it up exactly like it was on the old one thinking that was the correct way. When I went to hook up the battery the starter would just kick on. Also when I just have the two red wires on this wire to the ignition gets hot. How do I hook up the solenoid correctly. Here are the pictures the I have of it partially hooked up. Any help would be great. I am trying to get the boat on the river asap.

Thanks, Andrew
Edit: Should the red breaker button be connected to anything? It is not connected to any wires.
