Anyone have a Merc 525 single Rig kit Wiring Harness?

The engine will run with the 496 harness. You will need an adapter for the main connector, you will need to cross some wires to get trim to work. You will not have gauges but the 525 has built in safe guards. You will know when you bump the rev limiter, it will beep first.

Yep, the rigger started the engine and everything looks fine but neither of us feel comfortable running the boat without the guages. We have everything that is needed to make everthing work but that one darn harness. We'll probably have it next week but here comes another weekend in Syberia instead of sunny Florida. Oh well, I should have known better than to risk a last minute engine swap.

That's possible but I didn't have power to trim or ignition or anything. Like I said, I will try again this spring but any updates from you would be helpful. If the 525 didn't have built in safe guards I would not run it without gauges. It's time to get it right though. This is the last piece of the puzzle to getting my boat where I want it. BTW, you will love the HP525 EFI!
