Yep, I did it. I didn't pay attention to which wires went to positive and negative terminals when I yanked a battery to recharbe it. It is a 1980 Glastron SSV176 with an Evinrude 140 (1977 model). I know the two heavy gauge black go to negative and the two heavy gauge red go to the positive, but that leaves me 3 wires. Two are gray and I thou th t went to neg and there was one whitish that I thought went to positive. In this setup I get tilt to work going up only. Tilt down makes no sound. And, the motor does not have a sparkat the plugs. I havent broken out my volt-ohm meter to confirm my quick wire tracing is correct, but it looked like the two gray went to one pot on the speedo gauge. Not sure of the other yet, but it seemed to connect up with another wire before going to another gauge?
I can use my meter to confirm this as soon as I can.
I am at a loss to find any diagrams to help me, or even guidelines. I have fresh fuel, and it gets to the carbs, and I have a well charged battery.
Note the boat ran last year and I am pretty sure I can figure it out in time but prefer not to fry anything in the process.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
