I just received a 2001 8 hp yamaha remote power tilt/trim from a family member. She took it off her boat because the power tilt was frozen and she wanted a larger moter. The power head runs perfectly and it has great thrust.
I need to know if anyone out there has a service/repair manual and would be willing to share with me what the color codes for the wires are. I am having trouble hooking up some of the wires that were disconected during repowering her boat. I want to hook the motor directly to a starter switch. I plan to fab a small tiller for the motor and have already disconected the trim motor and shaft; I want it to bump up if I hit something in the shallows anyway.
I am aware that I could buy a tiller and wire harness for it but don't want to spend the $200-$400 for the kit when I know something could be fabricated and work just as well for my needs.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
