    Trim Gauge only registers when adjusted at motor

    Is there maybe wiring from the binnacle that also needs to go to the gauge? It’s been a while since i ran all that, so i don’t remember if there were any unused connections

    Trim Gauge only registers when adjusted at motor

    Hey all, Was hoping for some input. I got a trim gauge for my 2000 Johnson 50HP Long Shaft Model J50VLSIG 2 cycle. I wired it up and tested it before drilling into my dash. First i tried it from the remote button on the binnacle (which will adjust trim), and nothing! Then i went to the motor...

    Yeah, was def a lot of fun and a learning experience. All of mY overthinking worked out pretty well, gotta tweak a few things. I wanted to run it with the 15hp on this boat as a kicker, but I’m strapped for space at the Transom w the 50hp on there, and i think the back would squat too much...

    Well, got some runs in, a few hunts, no bang up shoots, but got some birds down. So far the boat runs like a dream. Only problem is my one rear seat isn’t in a good position for riding out when the blind is on, or shooting when up, gonna have to tweak my layout. Maybe after season. Time being a...

    You are correct. I took the advice and posted in the Johnson/Evinrude forums and those guys got back to me right away. It is for piece number 10 which is an Optional temp gauge, mine has an alarm. So I’m good to go. Got 90% of everything wired and a pin i needed for the throttle control came...

    Appeciate the advice and will do. I don’t want to try to fire it up if it’s unsafe or will get destroyed cause it’s missing that bolt, even if it will work fine i still want to replace it. The people i bought the motor off of are clients of mine, I’m a Financial Advisor, and manage their...

    Thanks. I remarried my run. I got 10’ + whatever additional i need for the loop. The cables that came with it are 14’ teleflex per the stamping on the black plastic housing. May try to make these work to avoid having to buy new ones right this second, but I’m sure it will bother me and I’ll...

    so the boat came with shift and throttle control cables from previous owner. After setting my throttle control and running cables they are def too big. Is there any major issues using them with several loops in line? I’ve also got conflicting info about measuring for new ones. One thing says...

    Thanks for input. I got the boxes framed out, a few panels covered in vinyl, and got some of the wiring ran. I went with 4 AWG, runs about 26ft, and i will have 80 amp breakers were the schematic dictates. 4 AWG is def plenty for the breakers and acr. Hopefully have her wired and ready to go...

    I also keep goin back and forth between 2 AWG and 4AWG wire for the battery runs for the blue sea ACR. The battery’s are gonna be in a bow box, and batteries and acr will all be close together, but i may have to splice/run new cables from the engine. Different charts say different things. Total...
