Hello, I am a newbie to boating and that is learning quite a bit on the forum(thank you) in hopes to one day become a DIY guy with boating .
So- I have an 89 Whaler Montauk with a 1990 Evinrude VRO 90 hp engine. I was washing the boat and noticed electrical tape coming off a bunch of wires. As I looked closer I noticed two wires (a white and black) were disconnected yet the green was connected. I removed the cowl and followed the wire and noticed another two wires disconnected (white and green) while the black seemed to be wired into a rubber connection.
I don’t know if I should be concerned about this or not. The engine started fine and all the accessories seem to work. The one thing that has never worked since I purchased the boat used was the tilt gauge on the center console. This is the gauge that seems to show the tilt of the outboard.
Do you guys have any suggestion about attaching the wires and how I should attach them??? Or should I just leave it alone and tape them up???
Any suggestions or guidance you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
