older mercury thruster

[spankies]

OK I have no idea what model this is. I just bought it for next to nothing and figured it would be an easy fix and it would be but I can't find a wiring schematic for it. The guy I got the trolling motor from said he had no idea what the model was. First of all how can I identify the model and at least a ballpark of rhe year.<br />Second where can I simply download a simple wiring diagram for the footpedal. Apparently the previous owner thought he could fix it and disconeccted all the wires in the footpedal and I have no idea what has to be attached where. <br />I've heard good things about the older mercury motors and hope it has enough power to push my 12' john boat.<br />Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Ok , i called them (dougrussell.com) and then I went to their shop and they could only recommend for me to call Mercury. Believe it or not, I never could get ahold of a real person. All automated answering systems.<br />I was just hopeing someone could just flip a similar foot pedal over and take a couple of pictures and send them to me.<br />I have all the wires. I just have to replace some and I can't see spending 150.00 on a new harness.

Re: older mercury thruster

I have all of the serial # except 1 because of damage to the tag it is on. 5106_41. Underlined is the missing #.<br />I'm guessing it is a mid 80's model.<br />It has a switch on the front edge of the footpedal for on-off-var. On the left side of the footpedal it has a speed selector knob for 1-6 and on the right side it has the on/off switch.
