    Mercury Control Pin Out

    Want to add tilt and trim at the bow. Can someone tell me what wires I need to use?

    There's a Tan, Red, Blue/White and a Green/White.

    Also how do I tighten the throttle handle, it's a bit loose.


    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Serial number irrelevant for this situation. Red is the hot and blue/white goes to up trim and green/white goes to down trim. Which throttle box do you have.

    Serial Number is 1B483029.

    The button is round.

    There are a number of possible controls that you might have in your boat (most of which have a round button on them).

    A picture will help to identify.

    In regards to your original question:

    Power (+) will be Red, or Red w/Purple Stripe (in some cases just purple).

    UP will be Blue w/white stripe. (or simply blue)

    DOWN will be Green w/white stripe. (or simply green).

    Hope this helps...

    Looks like I may need to open up the control. No brass nut?

    Definitely suspect it's an aftermarket control. Perhaps a wider-angle view showing the entire control/handle?

    Control is a 2006 Mercury. Also has the official Mercury logo on the button I popped out. I'll get a picture tonight when I get home.

    +1... you had us all thinking it was a Panel-Mount control.

    All done.

    Took the controller off the mount. Backed the bolt out, added some locktite, tightened it back up.

    Remote T&T all hooked up also.

    Thanks everyone for your help
