I've got a 2004 rinker 262 bowrider. The 496 says and should be smartcraft ready. But I am unable to locate the 10 pin connector to hook up my vessel view mobile module.

does anyone know where the 10pin connector is? It seems most have a yellow terminator resistor plugged into it. Some dont. Either way I've been unable to locate the plug.

Thanks you

It should have the connector, but don't know where it would be. Guess close by the ECM

Yeah I looked everywhere I can think of. All around the ecm. Certainly no yellow terminator cap. Though as I've been trying find out all I can. It's possible my motor has a round up pin connector? Cause I seen one of those. And in a wiring diagram I've looked at. It mentions and shows a round 10 pin.

Also, I've seen mentioned and I believe there is a 10pin round to the 10pin oval adapter harness out there. Not sure I'd that applies to me or not.

I checked behind the helm and it's not there either.

Yup I have the vessel view mobile module. So I have the corresponding harnesses that need to get hooked up. Just unable to locate said plug engine side

It should be on the top of the engine under, behind or near throttle body. Some have a yellow terminator cap and some have a purple one. Earlier mpi Like mine in 2003 and I think yours in 2004 require you to buy the yellow terminator cap for it to work. We have the purple one instead usually. I think after about 2005/2006/2007ish...they all come with the yellow one fitted already. But earlier have purple.

Another picture of it here. Hope this helps. Almost certain you will have a purple end cap on yours and need to buy the yellow one.

Yup mine did have the purple cap. Others have said it was where your pics show. Though I found mine on the back side of the motor starboard side. Buried in with a bunch of other wiring. Waiting on that yellow terminator cap now

Wish I could share the picture I've got in my phone already but it's almost 3mb and these forums only allow blurry pics it seems lol. Think maybe I have a different computer than the pic you showed
