Hi all,
I finally got my motor working the way I want it to, and now I'm starting to look at the electrical wiring. Just to mention to Silvertip, that in the sticky on boat wiring, all the images are gone, which means that the sticky is just about useless... I wanted to look it up to make sure I do things right.
In looking at my wiring, I found a couple of "loose ends" and I'm wondering what they could be for. 1 is off the motor, and the other off the throttle. Ive also got a bunch of wiring that "seemed" to be the lights and a non-existant horn, but I'm wondering what the fuse might be for (on what seems to be the stern lighting wire to the battery, since i didnt think it was necessary. I've linked to my bucket that has the pics. The description;
Behind 2 position switch (figure red/green and stern) lighting
Battery positive pole
Battery neg pole (shows fuse)
Unknown throttle connector
Unknown motor connector (45 hp mariner)
Unknown broken ground, seems to be associated with lighting or horn wire (needed?) even though there is a ground wire to the battery.
Two position switch and likely horn switch
Wiring to bow light
Steering rear view
