I am looking to start, run and stop my 2007 F250 from behind the engine when it is on the trailer, I want to avoid having to go to the helm when i am servicing . Is there a "tool" for this ??? I can't seem to find a wiring schematic if I have to make one .... Any help or information welcome ....thanks

Wiring diagram is in the back of the applicable service manual.

No tool available. You will have to devise a means on your own.

Most practical and cost effective way would be to disconnect the ten pin connector at the front of the motor. On the motor side connector jumper the red wire terminal to the yellow wire terminal. That will turn the ignition on.

To crank and start the motor momentarily jumper the red wire terminal to the brown wire terminal. That will engage the starter motor.

To stop the motor jumper the black wire terminal to the white wire terminal.

Or you can buy a used Yamaha 703 control box or an aftermarket 703 control box in which case you will disconnect the ten pin coupler on the motor and connect the ten pin connector from the 703 control box.

good information , pretty much what I was looking for .. I think what i am going to do is find a 10 pin harness to plug into the motor's ten pin connector ... Then modify that harness with a couple of switches .. If you have the time, could you take a look at the link below and let me know if this would work out for a starting point for this project .....thanks very much much

They have remote starter cables for Mercs and other motors. Mechanics use them on motors mounted on stands. You might look for them.

The other choice is to make one. Find a short engine cable extension and a keyswitch and wire it up.

What Yamaha calls a boat in a box. Box being used to segregate the motor from the boat when trouble shooting.
