12pin engine harness to 8 pin Trophy harness???

[BIGGUN]

I'm putting a 1986 merc 150 on my 1994 Trophy 1802. It had a Mariner 150 on it. The problem is that the Merc has a 12 pin connector and the boat has an 8 pin connector. Is there an adapter that I can get or do I need to buy a 12 pin connector and wire it to match the engine? <br /><br />Where can I find wiring diagrams of each?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Kevin

Does the motor in fact have 12 'sockets' ?some maybe empty.Unless you are hitting pin to pin,and in fact are connecting pin to socket plug it in and enjoy.<br /><br />DHP

The layout is different so they won't plug together. <br /><br />Kevin

an '86 V6 150 should have an 8 pin on it unless it was modified somewhere. You should convert it back to 8 pin. A used motor side harness should be available from a dead V6. Try twin city outboards

Any suggestions for a wiring diagram for either of these? What years were 12 pin harnesses used?<br />This motor has an external hydrolic pump for the tilt/trim....Is that what the extra wires are for?<br /><br />Kevin
