I have a 1980 V4 85hp Johnson
The wiring from the red plug to the remote box is giving me an intermittent fault so i want to replace all the wiring
Can anyone give me the heads up to which gauge wire to use ??
Can i run one size for all the wires or will i have to use smaller cable when called for?
How do i know which cable should be say 14 gauge for example is there a way to check this in the factory manual ?

Send me a PM with the length cable you need. I think I can help you and get this cable off the hook in my shop.

To bad I didn't know that earlier. My wifes sister left for Scotland yesterday. I have a cable I was going to give you.
