Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a BBC without a starter selnoid?

I saw this one some time ago, it does not show a starter solenoid, but the wire color on the drawing does not match the legend (Item number 5).

This is the engine harness.

There is a discrepancy in their harnesses anyway. They show an orange wire at the terminal block from the engine, but no connection in the main boat harness.
I added a slave solenoid to mine.
How are you setting yours up with no solenoid? Are you using a separate slave solenoid, similar to a Ford setup? Single wire starter?

Here is a diagram I made that uses an HEI setup. I put it on my 455 Olds and it works perfect.

Nubble thats a nice mod to an already good diagram.
Question: Im building my own harness based on the Liquid Addiction diagram and I dont see a breaker on there. Shouldn't there be one?
Also, my original harness had 1 fuse. It worked for 25 years so I dont see the need to add an entire fuse box. Unfortunately I dont know where to put the fuse.
Oh yeah, when it comes to electricity, I know nothing more than it sucks to be electricuted, so keep it stupid for me. :D
If it helps Im running an MSD ignition.

How close is your boat from being finished?

Whats up man ? Its real close maybe 2 weekends away from being done or at least ready to run (it will never just be done, due to my OCD). I have a mild 700hp temp motor in it right now and the real motor should be ready by the end of May. Whats up with yours? Didn't you upgrade the motor?
