Mystery plugs 292
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...befb3c1831.jpg
I just bought a 2002 292 and in the starboard gunnel I find these 2 plugs. 3 wires plus a purple wire that is not in the plug but has a bullet connector. Prior owner has no idea what they are. They have tape on them labeled port and starboard. wondering if anyone has a clue what these may have come from or what they go to. I haven't found the other end yet so I'm at a loss. |
what engines are in the boat, maybe a relay connection ?
|
Does the boat have aftermarket stereo? Those look like OE speaker wire to me.

Boat came stock with 350's, and prior owner had it changed to 6.2's out of an other 292 |

The only part that confuses me is that they are labeled port/starboard, and they are not long enough to reach to the port side. |

But based on most of the rigging that I've found so far, the guy (not prior owner) that rigged it did a LOT of wierd/wrong stuff. So if these are supposed to go somewhere, I'd appreciate the where. |

They may not go to anything at all if the guy previous guy was too lazy to pull old wiring out when re-doing stuff. They look like the standard plugs that go into trim/tilt pumps...the purple wires would connect to the limit switches (the hockey pucks on the outside edges of the gimbal assembly) so the pumps know when to stop.
If everything works on the boat then either leave them alone or yank them out and clean things up....you can test them to make sure they not hooked up to the switches. Just place the ground lead of a volt meter on any good ground, then the positive lead into either the green or the blue wires and start hitting trim/tilt switches up/down to see if there's any power going to them... |
