HI,
I have what appears to be a 1991 Yamaha 30 HP. 30ELRP.
New to here but been around outboards in some capacity, mostly a "user" most of my life. When I was young, my Dad was a factory Mercury Mechanic from 1958 to 1964 when he changed professions, but worked on them as a sideline for 20 or so more years.
I'm retired. Sold my "nice" boat about 6 years ago to buy a home just before the market tumbled; but gotta live somewhere.
Anyway, I just took in a swap/trade for some stuff I've been hanging onto way too long, for a 13 foot boat, one of those cheap copies of a Boston Whaler, with a console, and a 30 HP Yamaha outboard.
The console has a flush side mount single lever shifter, throttle with all the stuff inside the console. Hydraulic steering that will need some tweaking.
Well the remote wiring cable comes up to the console and goes thru a grommet underneath, and from there inside what I can tell because there is only a small access hole, has been tampered with and basically looks like someone cut all the wires off to where ever they go. It looks like it had a switch panel with different accessories on the other side. It's like someone was dismantling everything.
So anyway, motor looks extremely clean under the hood, I can turn the motor over by hand and can feel compression.
I need to get the motor itself electrically able to attempt to turn over by starter and not touch the wrong wire to the wrong thing and zap the ignition spark control, or whatever.
My internet is sporadic today but so far I haven't found a schematic for forward remote electric support so I can figure out what wire does what and hook up to what I guess will be a custom key switch, buzzer, and whatever else needs to be hooked up out of that bundle; etc.
Thanx,
Willy in Astoria, OR..
