Hi, I know that it sounds daft but I have forgot how to wire up a Tornado Marlin Speed Controller, Help!!!!!

The picture here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tornado-50amp-Controller-Remote-Control/dp/B00438ARVC - shows a heavy red and black going to a battery connector.  It also shows a blue and, IMO either stupidly or maliciously, another red, both with bullet type terminals, presumably for the motor.  The motor wires are to the outer edge of the case.  The switch and RX lead are presumably as you would normally expect.

You are correct with your assumption, the middle heavy wires, red & black go to
the battery, the outer heavy wires, red & blue are the motor wires,the others are
twin red and black switch wires & the 3 core Rx lead.
I have just had a look at one fitted in one of my boats.

hope this helps
