2001 Fun deck 226R wiring issues

Help! My boat motor will not turn over.  I need a wiring diagram.  I installed a new radio, my battery drained, the radio is connected to the AC switch.  The ignition is also connected to the AC switch via yellow and yellow w/red lines.

    Your radio is wired incorrectly and is causing a parasitic drain, killing your battery. The radio's constant 12V (memory wire) should NOT be on the ignition switch. It must be connected directly to the battery through an inline fuse. The ignition switch only provides switched power.

    Disconnect the radio and recharge your battery. Check all connections at the battery, engine ground, and starter solenoid. Your no-crank issue is likely a dead battery or a poor connection caused by the drain.
