See full version: Tracker Boats Wiring Diagram
I am putting a console in a Tracker 1448MVX Grizzly. It now has a tiller for setting. Has any one out there done this, and how big a job is it. The throttle controller looks like the hardest part. Is this doable in your own garage.
I purchased a 2019 175 Txw all gauges are working with the exception of trim and fuel gauge the boats literally 3 hours on it for the life of me can’t figure out why all fuses are ok and connections seem to be tight any advice would be enormously appreciated.
on my 2001 tracker I have a red for power and a green/white and a blue/white for the trim. [links]
If the limit switches are in place on your motor, the "up" limit will stop the pump. The purple wire (I think) will bypass the limit switch to let you keep trimming up to the "trailer" position. On a lot of old motors, these switches have failed and usually just get bypassed so the all you have is up and down.
I have attached 2 pictures to this thread. One of the pictures shows one black and one red wire that were cut by the previous owner. I'm guessing these are the battery connections?

I don't see any blue wire attached anywhere on the pump. Could that be the terminal and nut without a wire in my 2nd picture? more
Does anything get warm if the key is just in the "on" position?

Re: negative side of battery cables getting very hot
It's always the ground when something gets hot, it's turning whatever is shorting into the heating element or whateveer has the least resistance, anytime you have a problem with a wire, check the ground first. here
The different colors of electrical wires indicate the function of the wire, with black and red indicating the wires carry electric current, white usually indicating neutral charge and green indicating the wire is grounded. The colors, regulated by the National Electrical Code in the United States, are standardized for safety.
Black wires are always hot wires, meaning that they carry electricity. Black wires are never used as ground or neutral wires and must always be treated with caution. Red wires are also hot wires. As hot wires can be connected to each other, a black wire can be connected to a red wire. White wires are always neutral in 110-volt circuits but can be used as the second hot wire or switch leg in 240-volt applications and three-way switches, respectively. Green wires are used for grounding and should only be connected to other green wires. more
