Looking for additional info with the gauges.
This is all new to me, and I never saw working gauges.
1997 Yamaha 115, MFG gauges are shot.
Was given replacement used gauges and was told that they "should work" after changing the connectors.
All the wires are the same colors on both gauges.
Both gauges are slightly different and I can't find numbers on either.
The speedo appears to be working (haven't actually checked the speed though).
Fuel reads full, clock works, battery voltage displays voltage.
The tach is slightly different. The old gauge has 4 icons along the bottom.
The new gauge has 3 (looks like water temp is missing).
The "kit install instructions" (http://www.mbcboats.com/perfbull/Yam...KitInstall.pdf) show DIP switches on the back of the tach.
My tach does not have any DIP switches.
The old gauge has 9 wires going through the strain relief into the gauge.
The new gauge has 9 of the same color wires, but only 8 go into the gauge.
The gray wire is terminated with one of the bullet connectors, and does not go into the gauge.
From what I can tell, that grey wire is part of the trim indicator.
But after searching this site, I think that may be one of the alarms. I tried grounding the grey wire last night where it comes out of the connector and there is an alarm that sounds.
Since I never saw working gauges, I do not know what to look for when running the engine.
The tach appears to work correctly and there is an indicator over the green icon.
The trim does not work, but the bottom bar is showing.
My "new-old" gauge looks like this one

Something else I noticed last night. The tach doesn't always come on and the two gauges I have have two different colors of back light. One appears amber and the other has a green tint.
Appreciate any assistance.
