Battery connection?

Question

I'm getting ready to test my 12 volt system but I'm not sure which wire goes to the positive side of the battery.
One wire has an inline fuse and is smaller in diameter than the other, it also has a yellow eye connector on it. The other wire is much larger with a red eye connector.
Which is the positive?

We can guess but that's not really a good idea. I would follow the wires and see if you can tell which one is connected to ground (neg).
