or rotate the boot a bit to center it with the clip inside. How many times have you seen that one ? I am not saying every wire / boot but it seems like most of the time there is at the very least one in the bunch as of late.

I do not even know your engine serial number and it still shows the red wires across the board.. I would wonder if you had a bad wire even being new. - pulling off and installing wires you have to handle the boot only do not pull or bend on the wire itself nor any sharp bends. .
Im always careful pulling the wires from the plug.

What I may do is just replace the one melted wire with the corresponding new blue wire and go from there.

I was just trying to see if there was an actual reason why the Blue wires are for certain years and if there was a physical difference. I don't care what color my wires are, I just want them to be correct

You must be new to power boating.
