Igdpt,
Get the Yamaha rigging catalogue and then you can sort out what you need and find it online. When I was planning on purchasing my F70 from the dealer I shopped online and searched part numbers from the rigging catalogue to purchase the Binnacle, kill switch, Tach, trim and volt gauges and all the related harnesses. If I had it to do over again, I believe the trim harness came combined with either a oil pressure, or temp harness, (I cant remember), and I could of had that rather than the volt gauge which I would have preferred. I just went for a volt gauge as that is how my old dash was set up from the previous motor. I went with the less expensive analogue gauges but with Yamaha you can go basic or digital and higher tech. Anyhow, I brought this stuff to the dealer when having the new motor rigged and I figured I saved probably $300-$400 from retail.

Jim G.
