I recently bought a 2001 8hp Yamaha kicker motor to put on my fishing boat. The kicker is already installed on another boat. I started to remove the Yamaha and when I began to remove the wiring from the motor it seems that the wiring harness at the motor has like a connection block where all of the wires from the control box connect. My question is, is that the correct way to disconnect the harness coming from the boat? I kind of assumed that it would have some kind of plug that I could just unplug from and then plug it back into after the swap. I am obviously new to the Yamaha motors so I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants here. Thanks for any help or advise. I am also having trouble finding service or repair manuals for this engine. Thanks again.
