"1978 85hp johnson, sending unit for tilt/trim unit is not hooked up, the wires are cut at the sending unit and are about 6" long. I need to know how to wire it. Thanks in advance"

"Could you supply a bit more info, where are the wires cut and are there any wires that you see that may correspond"
 
"Thanks for responding, did no

"Thanks for responding, did not think I was going to get a response. The wires (2) that come from the sending unit are about 6" long. Both wires are black. Their are not any wires that I can Find that would correspond. A few years ago I had a used tilt/trim unit installed. Prior to the install I removed The old unit including sending unit.

So I am assuming He did away with the wires. I hope I have not confused you. Thanks"

"Yes on the wiring diagram, but I think its for a newer model. I can take a ohm meter and hook it up to the wires on the sending unit and as I increase the lever on the sending unit the numbers on the meter increase. Don't know if this is good info or not."
