Hey guys.... I've been reading about adjusting the shift cables in the forums and was wondering if there's any wires that go from the foot to the shift interupter switch or is the switch activated by the movement of the cable? I've recently rebuilt my transom and can't find where two of the wires coming from the foot go. 2 of the wires seem to be going to switch up front and the other 2 I believe are the trim sensor but I don't know where they go ..

2 of them are the Trim Limit, which should be wired to the Trim Wiring,.....
And,.....
The other 2 go to the Trim Gauge..........

The Interupter is Wired to the Coil,+ to Ground........

That's what I thought. I've been looking in the forums to find where the trim limit wires go ... but no luck. They've got the EYE ends on them as if they go on post ... perhaps the hydraulic selinoid .

They Should have Bullet Connectors,.... They connect Inline with the Trim Wiring......
