MJ - Check the wiring from the harness to the gauges . . . make sure everything is snug. I have a vauge recallection of a disconnected blue wire that cause me to have the same trouble on my yamaha 200.

Is wiring harness plug inside the motor cover loose or unplugged? Do you have a master fuse on the motor?
Good luck MJ.

Every motor I've ever had has had an inline fuse alongside the power head. Check that as well.

I don't know if the Yammies have the fuse or not? Hard to tell from my stupid DESK! MJ hates boats and I hate WORK!

Ok I have put full charged battery in the boat, I still have the same thing going on??

I have checked the fuse and it is fine.

I have checked all wires that I think should have power, and all I have is power from battery to square box on the motor, from the square box to the trim, I also have power in one wire in the big wire harness, Color is unknow as it is in the big black harness.

I have checked the blue wire as BS said, all is connected well at the gauge and the control box??

I hate eletric!!!!!!!!!!! I suck at it, and at this point I would rather sell then fix!

I hate doing things I have no idea how to do!

Anyone have a match?? >:(

MJ - Do you have a service manual?

if not . . . look at the online manuals . . . it won't have your year, but it has a troubleshooting section. Could be a key switch or neutral saftey switch or even kill switch?
