I have 2007 suzuki df115 hp and I see that it is equiped with the trim sender and the wires go up into the engine. Question do i need to purchase a wiring harness or is everything there and all i need is the guage???

Re: trim guage install

The trim sender lead is likely already under your console. I don't know what color it might be but look for a terminated lead - Likely bundled up with other wires and secured with a wire tie. If you find a suspect, use a multi-tester to first check it for 12V. If it's not hot then change your multi-tester to ohms set to 100-200 range. As someone moves the lever on the sender back and forth through it's range check to see if the ohms are changing on the tester. If so you've found the sender lead. That plus 12V power and ground for the light is all you need for the wiring.
