OMC control box

[painterman]

I'm a new member here and after reading on here for several days I realise this is a fantastic sight,there's countless useful information here.
My question is: I am restoring a 1991 JCmfg pontoon.One of the things I had to replace was the control box.I found a great OMC top mount unit on ebay,complete with the lanyard,2 keys,20' extention on the(big red plugs) power cable,and another length of wrapped wire included in the shipping box with a red/white,green/white,blue/white,black/purple,and white wire with open ends,obviously to run back to the motor for??Along side the main power cord,is another group of (3)wires that are green,red,and blue with a square plug on the end. Is this group for the trim /tilt? Also,3 more wires come out of the control box,they are purple,black and grey,are these for a tach?
Any help on this would be appreciated as Ive looked in the archives but havent found what I'm looking for yet.

You are correct about the TNT wiring colours.

The following links may be of interest to you.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes the 3 wires and square plug definately are the trim wires after tracing the wires I could plainly see that they go right up in the handle to the trim button. So then the other 3 wires coming out,the grey ,purple and black ones ,are they for a tach? Also would the nuetral safety swich wires be included in the main wiring harness?
Thanks again,Tim

purple, grey and black are for a tach. Grey=tach signal, purple=12V when ignition on, Black ground. Purple and black can also be used to power something like a temp or fuel guage.

Neutral start wires are typically white. Don't know about this case.

you can up load to a free service like photobucket.com then you choose the pictures you want( clik the little box at the bottom left of the picture) scrool to the bottom of the page, clik generate html, it will take you to the next page, scroll down to thumb nails clik on that and copy, then insert it into your post.

also if you are planing on posting pictures, you can use the Blue post reply or the go advanced, manage attachments, there you can upload , directly from your computer. besure you pictures have been resized to fit the format. 640x480 max.
