For a late 70s Mercruiser 165 equipped Glastron boat. Both the sending unit for the trim gauge and the trim limit switch were toast. Wires broke off at the transom. Replaced switches and found the pair with their connectors still attached that go to the limit switch. Not sure of the correct wire pair that feed the gauge though. Anyone know for sure what colors that wire pair is? Thanks.

Thanks. But, nuts. Can't find it. Did find a pair that had been cut off at some time in its life that was two different shades of blue (best guess, it's faded a bit) and was hoping that was it.

You know if this brown with a white tracer and black pair are wrapped in the main harness? Probably so but didn't want to make an assumption that has me opening things up unnecessarily.

All the mercrusers I have serviced have the trim gauge wire in the engine harness.If you can't find it just run another wire up to the trim gauge.
