I am getting a yamaha 50 2s which comes with a 703 side mount control box. I want to convert this to the 704 series surface mount binnacle, what is all involved in doing this? Do I just switch out the 703 for the 704 B1 or P1 series binnacle and plug it in? If i remove the 703 side mount box which has the kill switch and key, do I need to purchase the seperate kill switch/key panel standalone kit as well with the 704 binnacle?
I got that far, so far... I am acquiring a new 704 series surface mount binnacle, as well as a yamaha start key/kill switch with face-plate combo. I thought the 704 series binnacle comes with the wiring harness built in like the 703 does and it just plugs into the outboard? Do I need a third item here (new harness) ? Or are you referring to the harness inside the cowling?
No it needs a new boat harness. Its separate but when used with a 704 and seperate yamaha kill and key switches it all plugs right in. The harness on the engine is the same. Yamaha 10 pin is what you need
Thanks! I am ordering: Yamaha 704 control box Yamaha key start and kill switch double faceplate Yamaha 16 foot 10 pin main wiring harness Lets hope it all goes together!
