Power Play XLT 185 wiring diagram

[bpugh88]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a1988 power play xlt 185. I got this boat just this spring, and I was replacing a few things. When Replacing the Oil pressure gauge I had a problem getting the wires in the right place. I had tired the wires together that were on the same post but it's not working properly.

What motor is on your boat? year/make/model

She has a 350 mag mercruiser. The original one.

Cool, mercruisers are pretty simple.

look in the I/O section for the "Adults only" and you can pull down the wiring diagram... otherwise here are a couple of tips.

Oil audio warning switch (smaller one) is Tan with Blue line on it. goes to Water temp warning switch and trim tank if you have one.

Oil sending unit (i.e. pressure) is the bigger unit, and it a light blue.

Does that help?

By the way, if you are working under the dash on the gauges, then the same colors exist. Light blue is the oil pressure, purple will be your positive, if used for lights in gauges, and black will be your ground.

If I have missed it again, I might need a few more details.
