WIRING COLOR CODES


Here is a listing of common color codes for Yamaha outboard motors.
There is an industry-standard set of wire codes in general use by most manufacturers except Yamaha.
Colors listed here may vary with year & model but in general should be a good guide when tracing Yamaha wiring troubles.
