    Default 1985 force 125HP on a 1987 Bayliner Capri

    I just replaced my 1987 125HP Force outboard with a 1985 125HP Force. All hookups were the same except I have 4 wires coming off some kind of switches mounted to the motor. The colors of the wires are Blue and Green and the other switch has Blue and white and Green and white. I know these are all for the tilt/trim but I reused my tilt/trim motor from the 1987. I never unhooked the wires. Does the Bayliner have the switches elsewhere on the boat and is already hooked up? I looked in the bilge area and I found the Blue and Green wires to my existing motor going into a wire harness heading to the front of the boat.Does anyone have an idea?

    Some older Bayliners used a switch on the dash.Not in the handle.
    The wiring cable should have all the wires you need to operate the T+T.
    The B/G go to the switch in the handle.J
    IF YOUR OUTBOARD DOESN"T START WITHING A FEW SECONDS THEN SOMETHING"S WRONG!!!!

    boats . net is NOT the place to buy parts.They managed to screw up my last 4 orders.
    NO communication,NO follow through. Incompetent staff.Nuff said!

    Buy American made Cars and Trucks!!!Towing insurance for a boat,a GREAT thing.

    If you fix your problem,do the rest of the posters a favor and send in one more post telling who,what, how it was fixed.J
