Hello, I am trying to wire up a 97 150hp johnson ficht motor and had a few questions. First off, I have noticed two connections at the the motor that are not being used for some reason. Does anyone know what these are?<br /><br />First one is in the rear of the motor, it has a square connector with 2 wires. 1 wire is Black and the other is Tan with a black stripe.<br /><br />The second connector is in the front of the motor. The connection is a triangular and has 3 wires. 1st wire is white with a tan stripe, next is black, and the last one is green.<br /><br />Thats it for the motor area, my next questions are about some loose wires at the the other end of the wiring harness (key side). I have 2 sets of wires that I am unsure of what they are for: <br /><br />1st set is purple/black/grey.<br /><br />2nd set is black/purple/white with a tan stripe.<br /><br />I have been looking through my ficht manual but am unable to identify the connectors and it does not go into detail at all on the wiring harness so any input would be great!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jessie

Re: 97 johnson fitch wiring questions

we'll start with the first: these two wires i beleive are for your boat mounted oil tank sending unit. next these are for your trim angle sending unit.<br />the other end: 1st set is for a tachometer (not used if you have a system check guage with the modular plug) next set these are attached to your trim guage (if installed)
