ok, the tilt/trim unit on my 86 yamaha 175hp engine went out as did the motor for it (3 wire-blue/green/black).
got a good used tilt/trim off ebay for nice and cheap but its a newer unit and the motor only has two wires (blue/green).
anyone know what the black was?? I'm assuming it was the external ground on the old unit and that the newer 2wire motor is simply internally grounded and thus doesnt need the black wire.
is anyone able to confirm/deny this for me? would not using the black wire on the engine terminal be bad for me or would I need to do a little rewiring there or what??
