Engine Harness Adapter Needed
 

I had some work done in engine compartment and noticed last weekend that they didn't use a solid mount for the engine wiring harness plug as in attached picture.

I'm not even sure what it's called but I'd like to buy a pair and remount those connectors rather than just cable-tie them to something.

Anybody know what I'm describing and where I can purchase?

I thought Hardin Marine had them, but I can't find them now in their catalog. Looks like a prime candidate for a 1/8" stainless steel barstock, a vise or brake to bend it over, a hole saw and a drill. My boat is full of custom-made bracketry. It's cheaper, fits better, and lasts longer in most cases. You can get small quantities of either 304 or 316 stainless at www.onlinemetals.com.

I'm looking for the connector "thing" that is actually goes between the male and female connector that is in turn attached to the bracket--

Am I still talking "pig latin"? Obviously I'm not an engineer or techy--

Thanks for replies

I think I have a couple of those brackets you can have. I dont have any other the plastic clamp thingies though if thats what you are talking about. Email me and Ill send you a pic of them.

Looks like what you are talking about is the wiring harness to the dash. Mercury sells them to boat builders. The end that is modified is a complete wiring harness all the way to the dash. Thats probably why the mechanic did that instead of replacing the entire boat harness.

The engine wiring harness looks stock.

I have seen motors with the Harness coming in from the back of the motor ...how is that done ? just buy a longer Harness ? sure looks better than the Harness crossing both motors .....

I think we've broken the code--the connector on the engine has that square piece with the four mounting holes molded as part of the connector. Back to Plan A--flourescenet tie wraps it is. THanks anyway.

Are you looking for this part? #2?

Fred and pachangalpina--

Thanks for diagrams--the "appliance" I was hoping to find is attached to #23 and screws into part #2. It also looks like it's part of the plug casing itself.

My harness is A-OK so I don't want to go thru that agony just to neat'en up a minor rigging problem. I've reached a point where I kind of like the flourescent tie raps--poor mans bling-bling.

Fred did you have that plate made for the crane box? Can you email me a full size picture of it.
