Yamaha Trim Gauge Hook-up

[bogle57]

I have a 4-stroke 40hp Yamaha (2001 model). It is a F40TRZ. I bought a trim gauge (6Y5-83670-11-00) w/wire harness that is supposed to work for it, but I can't figure out the the wiring. It has a square harness that should fit to the engine, but there are several wires coming off the trim gauge in addition to the square fitting. I think the blue is for a light, the black for ground? but where do I need to hook up the others - a black w/purple and yellow w/purple? Any help is appreciated.

wow<br /> welcome to iboats.<br /> I have not seen those wire colors. ill call yamaha and have the tech writers flogged and keel hauled.<br /> if I get a chance ill look at the rigging guide tomorrow. keep bumping this thread cause I am slow sometimes.<br /> your wire colors should be pink not purple.<br /> have another set of eyes look at the colors. remeber the main color is written first and the stripe is written second.

Thanks Rodbolt. I think I pieced together some of the answer from previous posts. I may have a 3-wire gauge (its a 6Y5-83670-11-00) and should have bought a 2-wire. But even though my harness is 4-wire (black, gray, pink and orange part # 6R3-82553-70-00) can I still use it for a 2-wire Yamaha trim gauge? I wish I'd researched it better - I may be stuck with a useless harness and trim gauge.

the harness may be ok, but you CANNOT use a 3 wire gauge with a two wire sender. sorry.<br /> but the good news is an aftermarket guage is avalible for the two wire set up I think. you may also look into a yamaha digital tach just make sure its has a selectable setting of 4 stroke and 2 wire trim send.<br /> try to consult the rigging guide.

Bogle57<br />I used a Teleflex on my 2002 F40, made in Aug 2001. I picked it up at BassPro.. It required 2 wires from the sending unit (pink and black), 1 wire from the other insturment lites, a ground, and 12 volts from the switch source.<br />Gerald K4NHN
