1. COMMON MODEL INFORMATION METER WIRE CONNECTIONS Do not break the wire harness coverings. If the covering of a wire is broken, either repair it with electrician’s tape, or replace it. Attach unused terminals to the adjacent main harness with a piece of electrician’s tape so the terminals do not interfere with the surrounding parts. After each wire and harness is connected, check for proper connections by referring to the wiring diagram. Connect the battery and turn the main power on to check for proper operation. Meter Wiring Diagram The meter wire harness is an independent engine- control system.
Do not attempt to integrate it with the boat’s system or other accessories, except for the instrument light switch. There are three ways to illuminate the instrument lights: Connect wire harnesses properly, as shown in the meter wiring diagram. -1 Use Meter Wire Harness A and B for instruments ONLY Do not splice or otherwise add any other electrical appliance to the meter harness. Connect leads and terminals securely. Make sure terminals are waterproof. Use 19-gauge (1.25 mm dia.) wire. Connect the wire harnesses securely. If a terminal is oxidized or corroded, remove the oxidation or corrosion with a nonconductive plastic scrub pad or contact cleaner before reconnecting it.
Make sure all connections are water tight. Use the Honda Marine Terminal Service Kit (see page 1-49). I Description I P a r t ~ o .
