Author Topic:   A cry for help from Norway!

I am a Norwegian living in Trondheim, where it is impossible to acquire accessories for old outboard engines, and I am therefore kindly asking help from anyone who would be able to and want to accommodate my request.
The trim/tilt harness of my 1981 85hp Yamaha is broken, except for the wiring from the (remote) switch and the trim motor.

To me the cabling accessory seems like an Evinrude/Johnson type from the same period, with the following wires connected to the relay bracket:
• A three-wire input from the (remote) switch – UP (blue)/DWN (green) and 12V (red)
• 12V (red ) from the battery, and GND (black)
along with the two outputs for the trim motor:
•UP (blue) and DWN (green)

What I need is the cabling harness connected to the relay bracket, along with the bracket and relays.

If anyone has access to such a harness/accessory and would want to help me out, I would gladly pay up-front for the pertinent equipment and transportation to Trondheim, Norway – along with any reasonable remuneration.

I am Yamaha dealer in the Netherlands.
It looks like these parts are available new.
Your Yamaha dealer can order them.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response!
However, my trim/tilt harness is obviously not original – it looks more like an Evinrude/Jonhnson type from the same period (1980-86?).
The label on the bracket reads: 176584 03-F-X MEXICO.

You're right, that number (BRP-0176584) list as "Relay & Cable assembly, Tilt and Trim" for around $100 and is available through any Evinrude/Johnson dealer. Order online and they'll ship to Norway.
