40 hp johnson harness

[nref257]

Im trying to install it but I am having some difficulties, I added some pictures, as you can see, there are three plugs but one doesnt fit into anything, then on the other side, the same thing occurs, and i have these little wires with loops, any assistence will help, is there another harness i need, or am missing, maybe the harness to the battery that would have these plugs? Can i buy it on here?

In the group of five pictures, the first picture shows that the big plug has no male adapter to it, and in the third picture I show how the two plugs do not fit into each other.

A little research i learned that that triangle is for the trim option, and so is the male adapter on the boat, which is weird because its an older trim plug

Re: 40 hp johnson harness

Your motor is a 1998 model, new style connectors. The trim plug from the boat is the old style. They changed connectors in the 1996 model year. You need a "post 1996" cable to connect your engine to a remote control, or a "post 1996 engine to pre 1996 boat" adapter cable if you can find one. A pre 1996 cable has a big red plug at the engine end. A competent shop should be able to make one if need be.

The battery cables connect positive to the starter solenoid, negative to an engine block ground, usually a bolt or stud between the starter and solenoid. There is no plug in the battery cables.
