When my 1990 Rinker 206 Captiva got a motor swap (5.7L Merc. for a new chevy 350) and new ignition, a few things were never hooked up or they no longer work, the swap was done before I bought the boat. The tach works, but the speedo, engine temp, and tilt guages do not. The Merc. electronics module was removed when the new ignition was installed. Anyone have a wiring diagram of where the wires hook up, or would hook up to the motor, or are able to walk me through it? thanks.

Re: Wiring Help

Without knowing what outdrive, ignition, or what engine was installed, you are asking an impossible question.

Re: Wiring Help

you will need a schematic of the your original equipment and from there you'll have to use the color code to run the wiring to the appropriate places. Without the schematic it's all trial and error with many variables. I did it so it couldnt be too difficult.
