I got a wiring diagram for a 2011 Pro 165. It shows a 6 pin connector to connect the basic guages to the main wiring harness of the boat. How do I go about finding and buying this 6 pin connector? I take it as most likely a connector with wires attached and maybe spade connecters?

Another question, I take it for connecting a tach the sensor wire in the boats main harness is already attached to the engine?

Re: Adding Gauges Question

Okay I need some help. I have a wiring diagram from Tracker but it doesn't match what is actually on the boat and what I have online for Tracker color codes. 2011 Pro 165, 40 Mercury. What I need to know which wire of the 12 pin harness coming from the engine is the tachometer signal? By the Tracker diagram it's the solid gray wire, but I also see solid gray wire leading to the navigation lights. My wiring diagram doesn't show a "solid" gray wire to the light switch.

There is 4 loose wires in the console. 1 gray, 2 purples, 1 blk. Could this gray be the tach signal? Also anyone know what the purple wire is?

One more question from the ignition switch is a yellow/blk stripe wire that has a barrel lugs inline that is disconnected. Anybody have a clue why?

From the engine there is these colors at the 12 pin connector: Blk, Blk/Yel, Wh, Grn/Wh, Purple, Yel/Red, Yellow, Blue/Wh, Red, Gray, Brown, Green.

Wish I could give you an answer but I'm not sure. Maybe try calling Tracker or Mercury.
