Mysterious disconnected engine wires on my 24V

[yourbudjim]

Just purchased a 2005 24V and I'm curious what these engine wires were once connected to?20200403_165455.jpg

I have a 340MP as well in my 22ve. It’s full of random wires like that. Lol

No clue what they are for......

Thanks BrentP! The reassurance that my boat is normal is very helpful

I’m just glad they capped them off. They seem slightly less exposed? Maybe? Meh

Same on my 24 ve with the same engine. I’ve always wondered what they were for.

True of most engine wiring harnesses. The manufacturer doesn't want to stock a separate harness for every accessory, feature, option, etc. So they use a single harness and connect whatever is on "this" engine.

BTW, this is true of your BOAT's wiring harness too. My 2009 24Ve is chock full of unused connections, most of them tagged to indicate what they're for. Lots of power outlets that I don't have, switches that my helm didn't get, etc.
