Default Any idea where these wires go

Having a problem with wondering if these wires need to be connected..

The first two pics are the drive Lube monitor and it has two wires coming from it..do they need to be connected and if so where..i went from an MPI engine to a carb, but the engine installer did not connect them

The other two wries r coming out of the transome plate, and they r not connected either..i'm figuring that one should connect to trim guage because i'm not getting a reading on the dash as far as where my drive is..the other ? and where to connect to ?

Thanks Q

The 2 wires from the bottle hook up to the drive lube monitor on an injected and some carbed motors. If you don't have that hook up then don't worry about it, or you could hook up your own little light or buzzer if you'd like, the contacts close when the level gets low. The 4 wires coming from the transom are trim limit and trim gauge sender wires. The trim limit will be closed when the drive is down and open when you trim it way up. The gauge sender will have changing ohms across the wires as you move the drive, you should find the wires to plug in somewhere along the stringer unless your boat doesn't have limit or gauge.

You're welcome. Is your 22 the red one that was bought from a guy in Maryland by the name of Mike?

Q


I "think" those plug into the trim pump solenoid....there should be bullet plugs off the trim pump that go to the bullet plugs coming through the gimal housing...???

I could be wrong, mine is set up like that though.
