Swapping engines on a 1979 srv-195 need help with wiring.

[nreedkutz]

So i bought a boat from a guy online for cheap knowing that it needed some work. What i didn't know was how much work it was really going to need. So long story short the mercruiser 260 that came with the boat was beyond repair. I found a volvo penta 260a from around the same time period. So im going to swap out a few parts to make it work. The main thing that im wondering is what the wiring colors are for the volvo motor. i need to switch out the plug to make the motor work with my sea ray. So if anybody knows what the wiring colors are that would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anybody knows about anything else i may need to do to make it work better would be helpful. Thanks

there shouldnt be much to it, and you can follow each wire to where it actually hooks up on the new-er motor.... giving you the conversion. only about 10 wires isnt it pressure, water temp, ground, live to coil when key is on, really should be able to make it run on that one alone. Likely a few - limit switches cutting the coil wire (in-gear, drive too high, etc) The more you know about that motor and wiring, the better your chances of getting home! Good Luck.

Here is the link to a service manual for the Volvo:
