I’m don’t think I understand what you are describing. I am assuming you have an engine with a black plug connector and you are trying to mate it up to a remote control with a red plug connector, correct?
Do you have a donor motor with a red plug engine harness? If so, that would be ideal, no need to snip the plugs off, simply use the donor red plug engine harness on your running engine that currently has the black plug.
Snipping the plug connectors off should only be done as a last resort. Splicing these harnesses togehter means the engine can’t be removed from the boat without removing the engine harness. Spliced connections are always troublesome, especially the black/yellow connection in salt water.
Again, your description is a little confusing, so am not sure I understand what you are proposing to do.
