i have done the replacement of the engines. the 88 spl has bad compression and the 85 hp works great. now here is the problem i see so far. 1st. I am using the linkage cable from the 88 on the 85. they seem to fit too snug and had to
bend the transmission linkage some just to make it fit...now it seems too tight.
2nd. the Tilt and trim. the 88 spl has several wires coming from the console. which wires do I use
to connect to the wiring from the 85 hp trim and tilt . it seems there is one cable with 3
wires that goes to a small box with a sylinoid and from there two thicker wires that go to the
battery.
can anyone let me know if the linkage bending is ok and is that why the forward & rev is stiff? and also about the wiring to the tilt and trim?
