    05 optimax 150 wire harness plug ID

    Hey guys,

    Motor serial @ 1B044209
    I just want to confirm the original purpose of this plug I located in my dash. I originally thought it was part of my boat harness but after further inspection it seems like it would be tied in with the ignition / motor.


    not sure why it was cut but was hoping someone could confirm if its just a plug that would be used for a smartcraft gauge or something? Its a 5 prong plug but it was cut out all except the alarm wire which is spliced in. Its also tied in with the alarm.

    That would have been the plug for an instrument harness. Looks like someone cut it an used the "splice away" method.
