connect the trim harness or reuse your old one, the other harness should have a red,green,yellow and a black with bullet connectors, should also have a fuse on the yellow and red leads.
one end connects to the ign harness at the keyswitch the other goes to the tach, on the tach, yellow is key on 12v,red is not used,black is ground and green is tach send.
make sure the dip switchs are set correctly and go play.

the F225 in 03 had no provision for oil pressure and the temp guage was optional. does your F225 have a sender installed for water temp ?

No it does not. I just see on the gauge there is a oil and water graphic on the bottom of the it. do those not function with a 4 stroke. ?
