TRS Engine Harness bracket and wireing
 
I cant figuer out where the Engine bracket goes on this for the wiring harness. And if anyone know where the wire plug into that would lso be great but not a huge deal.
Does anyone have Pics of dressed engine they could post?

Kinda looks like it might fit in the center on top of the Bell Housing. Some bell housings have two tabs sticking up that it may fit up too.

That's the same bracket as mine and it does bolt to the top of the bell. However, I have a couple of other merc bells that don't have the spot needed to mount that so maybe you have the wrong one. Maybe do a little fabbing? Only my girlfriend knows how to post pics for me. she's not here, Sorry

Sick Stinger 03-02-2011 05:08 PM

OK ill check my other bell maybe that has it

was able to swing by the marina last night to verify that the bracket does bolt on back of the engine via the bell housing, (see pics). It is kinda hard to take good pictures because of the location. Hope this helps.

Stinger, do you have a Merc Trans ll or a Borg-Warner ?
Merc Trans ll should have 2 threaded holes at the top of the bell housing. That would be like in cliff's pics.
If you have a B-W trans you may need a different bracket. If you do have a B-W does it have a top mount starter with the coolers in the bellhousing ? They have another bracket which I think that one bolts to. Part #9 in this diagram.

Exactly what engine, trans and bellhousings do you have ?

Sick Stinger 03-05-2011 03:31 PM

Merlin 540's with a TRS coolers on Bell. I checked the Bellhousing and non of the holes lined up.
Thanks for all your help guys

If you have the TRS dual cooler bell than you need part #9 in the diagram also to bolt it to.

is there a good pic of it?
-Mike

picklenjim 03-07-2011 11:28 AM

The bracket, part #9 in the diagram is bolted on with the top 2 bolts which bolt the bell housing to the engine block. Then the bracket you have bolts on to this bracket in the 2 remaining holes. Bracket #9 in the diagram is no longer availiable so you may need to fabricate one which should be fairly easy unless you can find one somewhere used.

Sick Stinger 03-07-2011 11:34 AM

OK thanks I will see what I can come up with tonight. Im just about done rggine the engine now and the 2nd one is to come tuesday.
