installing transom assembly
 
little help here please.

Just installed the transom assembly and have a couple wires coming through into the assembly into the bay. No smart craft. I believe these wires are for the trim limit switch. If anyone could help me in telling me where these go I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Brown and orange are for mercathode, black with bullet connectors is for trim limit and trim sender

Where do they connect to? Wire harness? Trim pump? I am far from a gear head

There is no space to connect them on the wiring harness? Where do they connect to on the engine harness?

I have seen the diagram. The harness I have is a 9 pin and clearly only fits on to the engine. While the connecters on the trim tab limit switchs are squared and do not fit anywhwere on the harness. My question is, is there a separate harness for the trim tab indicators? In the picture, the harness is a 3 pin it seems.

the 3 pin harness will be on the trim pump,separate of the engine harness.

that is actually a really old wire diagram but the wire colors are all the same. newer ones have 2, 1 for trim limit switch and 1 for trim height guage.

Tabs are an entirely different animal.

Find your trim pump, follow the wires and and you're halfway there.
