First Yamaha

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..

Here is main harness color codes,

Ok, thanks for that info. Upon further looking, I have a 7 pin connector at the motor; I'm assuming that the tilt up/down and something else is what is not in the 7 pin versus the 10 pin; hopefully the colors are standard to the different terminals.

HI,
Ok, Upon further investigation this "glob" on the harness as it goes under the floorboards was merely some sort of crude protection taped to the harness.
I have what looks like an original wiring harness, 7 pin plugged into the plug that hangs out on a short pigtail at the engine. NO worn or frayed spots on it. It goes under the floorboards and up into the console.
Since nothing was attached to anything at the console and just wires ending, I pulled it out all the way and found the entire length to be clean and in good shape.
So what I have that would be at the console end coming out of the large black covering is 7 wires that have different ends on them.
Blue and pink have male ends.
White, black, green, have female ends.
Red has a terminal end like you would put under a screw.
Brown however, is taped to another type harness that has a buzzer hanging from it with a double yellow, a black and a pink with a rubber cap covering all three ends of those wires that says YAMAHA on it and has a black wire hanging out with a terminal end on it.
Now on the console, there is a generic flush mounted shift/throttle mounted on the side of the console with just the single lever handle sticking out. Inside the console, the shift/throttle push-pull cables go down to the bilge thru a tube and back to the motor. They shift and move the throttle smoothly. Hanging out of that mechanism are two blue wires with looks like cut ends.
I can see in the bilge very short wire clippings of white, yellow, blue, and black at least, so it appears that whatever the good harness was plugged into was snipped out and the components were taken.
But looks like the basic 7 pin harness should be good.
Now for something to plug it into I guess, so I'm going to have to figure that out..
