Blue and Green usually relate to Tilt/Trim.

Yes I did look but having a bit of troubles.. From what I can tell the black wires are are trim indicators. The other 3 wires are from trim as well.. But the trim works.. Im just figured someone with this motor could take a pic of where they go

Re: 1986 150 johnson wiring questions

The two back wires go to the trim sender by the swivel bracket. They feed the trim gauge on the dash. The Blue/green wires go the the trim motor itself. The wiring diagrams at the top of the page should have the correct diagram for your engine. Note that the engine wiring harness diagram is separate from the trim harness diagram. You should be able to determine what you have by comparing both diagrams.
