Trim gauge wiring diagram

[nifty58]

I have a 1989 Johnson 40HP outboard with trim & tilt( J40TLCE ). I recently purchased a trim gauge but it didn't come with a wiring diagram. My manual doesn't cover tilt and trim. I think the sender is there but I have no idea how to wire it up. Any assistance would be very welcome.

Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Your motor probably didn't come with a sending unit. You'll probably have to get one of those as well.<br /><br />The wires that go to the gauge...<br />Purple provides 12v+ to the gauge<br />Black is the ground and provides 12v-<br />Blue is for the light, 12v+ off the nav light circuit<br />White/tan is the sender wire.<br /><br />Johnnyrude senders have two leads. One lead is grounded (usually all the way back up at the gauge), and of course the sender wire.
