I swapped out my 1999 200 opti for a 2005 225 pro xs ser#1B174045 and have some wiring questions. I had to use a 8 pin to 14 pin harness part no 896542a01. I have wires from the dash that go to the Merc gauge with four lights they are pink/blue, orange and brown/black and also a white/blue that goes to a temp gauge on the dash and a solid blue that goes to my trim gauge.
on the new motor I find a three prong female connection out of the harness near the top of engine with a white/orange, black/orange and purple/black wires. From the bottom of the engine I find a brown/white and purple wires that have a rubber protection on the bullet connection.
so my question is are any of these on the motor the ones I need to connect my dash gauges to? If not where do I find the trim sender, temp sender and is there any way to get my Merc gauge functioning with this motor.
Any help will be greatly appreciated guys or gals
