I need some help. I just purchased a 1999 Carolina Skiff with a 2001 Honda BF50a. Boat runs, pumps water, most accessories work, just needed to be cleaned up and reconfigured. A lot of steel drywall screws holding even more accessories. Wiring had been tapped into multiple times for radios, depth finders, and so on. Other then a lot of extra holes and a broken and missing windscreen, it looks a whole lot better.
Now my Honda question. The original control was a Mercury. Top mounted, seems to run the engine. Key switch is somewhat generic, kill switch is connected, and motor has a pretty good clump of electrical tape about a foot off of the engine, that I have not unwrapped.
I think that all of the four gauges are Telex, and probably original to the boat.
I would like to wire the boat to the correct Honda wiring harness and remote control. The boat came with a box of Honda parts, that seem to cross reference correctly to the BF50, however may or may not be correct for this model, a BF50a, serial number BAZS-321xxxx. I will list part numbers in a second. There is also a single top mount Honda remote with pigtail for trim, minus cables. All of these parts are new in the bags. Here is a list of the part numbers in the box. There is also two square switch plate covers that I assume go to the ignition switch and the kill switch.
Ignition Switch = 37552-ZW7-1A
Kill Switch = 36153-ZW7-000AH
Instrument HRNS, TELEFX = 32200-ZW7-000AH
20 Wire Main = 32205-ZY6-020AH
Remote Control = 06240-ZW5-U40
Round Alert Gauge = 40700-ZW7-000AH
The ignition switch and the kill switch seem to have matched plugs, the other two harnesses have different plugs.
This is a project boat for my 23 year old son, I want to get it right. Wiring doesn't worry me, I have all the correct equipment and connectors to splice. Plug and Go would be easier and might warrant buying addition parts if needed. I also have the Honda Service Manual and Wiring Diagram. It looks like all the wire is here, just the connectors are off. I am having a hard time finding out the right part numbers for this project. It appears that the dates on the parts are somewhat correct, 1992'ish, and too new for others - the ignition switch is 2012. I would like to get this back to all Honda. I have the wiring for the 12v accessories, but would like to have all of the parts needed when I start rewiring. IS it possible that there are some adapters from old to new, or is splicing an option using shrink wrap connectors and the proper crimping tools?
If there are any Honda experts out there, and I suspect that there are many, I sure could use your help and advice. No stranger to forums, most are fishing, hunting, farming, or shooting. All have been a great help in my hobbies, but with this one, I feel a little out there on an island.
