    It’s a bonding wire that grounds the LU to the engine,helps stop electrolysis and corrosion. It needs to be hooked up and in good shape.

    If you would, please take a couple of minutes to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and provide the REQUIRED info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    As suggested, this is the continuity ground for the mid/swivel bracket. Many models rely on this ground for the trim sender to function properly.
