Any Merc. manual will have the general diagram. The buzzers and alarms you'll have to trace.

That puple wire should be switched power to the alarm. The other wire(s) from the alarm will go whatever corresponding sending unit. Go to the library and get a 1992 Mercruiser service manual. It will clear it right up. Good luck.
