wires I have no idea?? Call the place were you got the motor from.

Use marine Hydraulic oil!! In a pinch I have used jack oil but you need the marine stuff!!

Bleeding. I ran all mine empty before and all I did was refill it. Then ran it a bunch of times and then refilled.


As for the motor, I would have done nothing till I heard that thing sing!!
Why have you not started it yet?? Thats alot of work just to find out that the thing is junk when the time comes!!

I did not see anything on your list for the lower unit?? Have you changed the lower unit oil?? New O rings on the fill and drain screw?? When was the last time the water pump was changed?
All things that need to be done and in working order before you launch!!

Nice to do all the paint and install eletronics bildge pumps ect ect....But it all means nothing unless she sings and pumps water!!
