I am getting closer to starting my engine on my restoration project my 1984 Sea Ray 5.6 Seville Cuddy 150 ELPO with a Mercruiser 260 engine. I will be excited to hear this motor later today for the first time. I am having trouble finding my correct wiring diagram after all the ones I have seen and downloaded. With that said, I was hoping someone could tell me where this wire is to be hooked up to. It was unhooked when I purchased the boat. It appears to be a Tan or White wire with a blue stripe but none of the wiring code color shows this color used by Mercruiser. It has a round connector attached to it but I do not see anywhere it goes.
Thank You for your advice
Mr. Steve Wayne
I am working to try and figure that out. I will get back with you as soon as I know.
Another question, I have 2 Red wires to the top center of my starter solenoid and the Yellow with red stripe wire on Right smaller screw, Correct?
It looks to me after un-tapping some of the tape on the harness that it is running beside a blue wire to some kind of a (junction) block On left side of engine (above starter side). Above valve cover and below where the shifting cable connects underside of exhaust port.
Does that help?
Thank You, Please Advise
I believe a previous owner hacked the engine wiring as far as I can tell you should have the Thunderbolt IV ignition system and that white/green wire would go from the ignition amplifier to the ignition sensor in the distributor. However the picture you posted shows a point distributor. Here are the wiring diagrams for both.
Help with wiring please
