Need someone to take a look

[Throbbin Rods]

I just repowered my 89 Starcraft Islander 190V with a 150 HP Yamaha. Being the dummy I am when I replaced all the gauges with the Yamaha gauages that I was given with the motor, I forgot to check out the color of the wire that connects to the fuel gauge. All the other gauges are working great, but I don't know what to do with the fuel gauge. Could someone look at their Islander and let me know what color the wire is that feeds the fuel gauge?<br />Much appreciated.<br />bill

It has been a couple of years since I worked on an Islander, (my favorite boat BTW), but as I recall, the fuel gauge wire is usually pink. Maybe grey or white on some boats.

Thanks - I had suspected the pink wire but wasn;t sure. I'll give it a try in the AM. With that 150 on there it goes like a scalded cat! Planes off in less than 2 seconds and tops out at 49MPH at 4900RPM. Got to try a smaller prop to get it closer to the recommended 5500. This is my second Islander and they are awesome to fish out of. I can take my 10 year old and if she gets bored she goes up in the cuddy and reads, eats, orsleeps.
