I have a 2003 90 HP 2 stroke Yamaha that I am trying to wire an aftermarket binacle control to. I do have a book, but one thing I'm not quiet sure about. Does :confused: the lanyard cutoff switch just ground out the white wire? I have the ignition,+12v,ground,trim up and down and starter wires hooked up. I understand the green wire is for tach. What are the others? I'm talking about the main wiring harness from the engine. Thanks for any help, Jwig

Yes it does. Yellow goes hot with the switch,red is hot all of the time, blue goes hot with the switch, light blue is trim up, light green is trim down, black is ground.<br /> Since there are no fees and no employee to answer your questions, instant response is not likely to happen.<br /> Using the search function would have gotten you a quicker answer.

Re: Yamaha 90 2 stroke wiring

I bought this switch on ebay. Maybe it's the wrong one? Everything works now except when I turn the ignition off the motor keeps running. There is no provision on this switch to ground the white wire when switch is off. The lanyard kill switch is built in on this switch and it works fine.<br />Do you think I should use the old switch and kill switch out of the 703 side control? Thanks

I took the original switch out of the 703 and used it. Everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.
