Anyone with transom remote ... help!

[04OUTBACK]

Interesting..
I bought an extra remote from cab and yet to install.. interesting to hear that there may be a connection back there? I look forward to hearing the results.. I just parked mine at storage an hour ago or I would go look myself! I am still hung up fearing the drill for the mount!

if there is not a connection back there, here is the wire that splits off from factory connection.. I ordered one myself.. hope I don't need it!

Well after going all over the stern of the boat i came to the conclusion SC didn't include the additional wiring for remote. I took apart the dividers and nothing! In fact the loom has but two wires in it, yellow and black.

So i removed the front remote, pulled the pins from the connector and soldered an additional 24ga color coded wire to each pin, reinstalled them in the connector and reinstalled the front remote. I ran the wire to the rear, drilled for the remote and soldered the wire to the remote leads. I surrounded each hole with clear silicon and installed the remote and then secured the wire to the loom. Works like a charm. For those doing the same i used 4-wire security cable from home depot.

Thanks for all the help guys, i guess SC just got lazy when mine was built!

On a side note, the wife wouldn't come look until the "hole" was covered with the remote as she was freaking when i was drilling the holes!

SC didn't get lazy. This stereo remote wiring harness is not installed on all boats. It is not just a plug and play option. You must purchase the wiring harness that runs from under the dash back to the transom.

Razz,

Glad it all worked out. I think the 4 wire security cable is what I used as well, not sprinkler control cable.

04outback,

Install that remote already! I posted a pic below to help motivate you. I put mine on the port side instead of the starboard side like most people since my walk thru transom is on the starboard side and that's where the traffic is getting in and out of my boat.

And for those of you that must have that last finishing touch for the remote, see the link below for a billet aluminum bezel made specifically for the (new style) oval Kenwood remote. And it's available in 28 different colors!

Cab,
Travel keeps gettin in the way... 3rd week in a row .. plus storing boat offsite makes it difficult.. i bought a new hole saw the other day and made a template with wood to start.... weekends are for riding not tooling around... maybe I'll get to it soon.... Good call on the wire... I 'll look into that! ALthough, I did get excited to think there was a wiring loom back there...

Finally pulled the trigger on the hole saw and installed my transom remote.
Thanks to Cab13367 for selling me his extra remote.
Drilling was no prob at all! actually wiring was more of a pain.. or at least connecting to the factory remote plug anyway.. I bought security wire from Home Depot and it made it easy...red/red, black/black, green/blue, white/yellow.. and all in one bundle...

Here is a photo of my work..

Brad,

Looks great! Glad you finally got the time to install it. Yeah, the security cable is the ticket, and a lot cheaper that the extension wire they try to sell you.
