Merc Throttle Wire Identification

[Roman S]

Hi,
I did download one of the links to a manual that Don gave for the Commander Panel mount Throttle. I need to replace mine (1987) 350 Alpha 1. However than manual does not identify the wires individualy that control tilt/trim/trailer. Is there another manual online that would have that information so I can wire correctly. ( not cables)
Thanks Roman

I don't remember all 4 colors, but blue is up, green is down, red or red/blue is power and the other one is trailer.

I believe its 4 wires, about 16 guage I'd say, stuck together in a row, making the whole set up about an inch wide, but only a 16 guage wire thickness, the colors should be red, blue, green, and purple (not ignition purple, that will be a thicker wire) They should be bundled all together like I said. Purple is trailer
