I have 1991 Bayliner Capri force L drive inboard/outdrive and some of the wires where the circuit breaker is got corroded and detached themselves from where they are wired at, and I have no idea where they go. I’ve never worked on a boat motor and I’ve looked online to find wiring, schematics and diagrams, and none of them make sense to me because It don’t show where all the wires that I’m looking for go on the few that I did find I’m not very smart when it comes to this in the first place. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows all wires on the circuit breaker that connect to the solenoids on the back?

The wiring diagram can be found in the factory service manual available only from Brunswick, or used on sites like Evilbay

Due to copyright laws, you won't find it randomly online

Is this on the trim pump in the stern?you mention solenoids I’m assuming it on the trim ?

Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,...... What you've got is a short lived oddity, with little to no support available,....
Probably 'bout one of the worst choices possible,.....

Didn’t catch that thought it was a merc. Never had seen one before this

Thanks for replying but I still can’t find what I’m looking for. There is a plate that is mounted to the tilt trim pump that has a wire bracket thing on it. That wires screw to and on the back of that plate has two solenoid things I guess is what they’re called on the back of it. I don’t know where a certain wire goes that got corroded, red and purple one 14 gauge to be exact and I’m looking for a diagram of where all the wires go on the back of that plate. I would post a picture because I know I sound like an idiot trying to explain what I’m talking about, but it won’t let me.

Also the wires that go in where the relays go are corroded and have no idea where they go either.

Wow, there are still L drives around? @Bondo , better off in the force section? Op, see if you can post some pics somehow (the site isn't working)... This isn't typical mercruiser wiring

Well I got the boat running finally. I put it in the water to go for a test run and everything works fine besides tilt fluid leaking from the tank but it’s an easy fix.
