Hi All,
I have been frustrated with tracing the Tach wiring on my outboard. Does anyone have a diagram from the motor? My tach goes to 0 when the ingnition is on, but I see no AC voltage on the SEND of the Tach. There is a grey wiring coming out of the Voltage regulator and it goes into a potted housing on the back of the motor and on the bottom there are a few wires comming out. One is tan and not connected to anything. The others are for the trim. Is this tan wire the one that is supposed to run back to my trim gage? It has a crimp on it, but just hangs in space. There does not appear to be a wire to connect it to. Is the grey wire on the regulator the one for the tach or is it the yellows? Why are does the main wiring harness coming from the controls run into this potted housing and what are the color codes? any help is appreciated. Thanks
ps my battery voltage goes to 14 when the motor is running so it is charging
