Perkins 4108 wire loom

You will need a box of cable crimp terminal ends and a crimp tool,this one also cuts the wire,if you can not find these where you are we may be able to source locally for you and supply with the wire harness set.Made by SeaWorld (taiwan) item number 30318.

New tracer wires (colour coded)each cable is ten meters long,so long enough for most installations,we also supply a cable list as to which wire size and colour goes where,start at the switch panel,do those connections,feed the wires back to the engine and connect to each sender unit or supply point,this way you will cut the new cables to the right length.


The Canadian flag,marks this new order as our twenty fifth export country to date.

We posted this information on our blog early in the year,due to a rewire job on a Perkins 4108 diesel engine (46hp straight four),having stripped the original loom,we could match the wire gauge and colours too,we can not supply the original push in plugs but we can say what wire went where on the engine we were working on,some wires may be extras,as the engine had a generator originally but now has an alternator.Paul in Canada has just ordered a set of new wires for his boat down in Florida,we supply in ten meter lengths,you can cut to size to suit your own boat then,the new wires kit weighs around 4kgs by the way.
Check out this link to view the original posting we made,more pictures,info and a list of what wire is what colour and goes where?

Starter motor connections.

The left side of the engine when vied from the gear box end,note the hours and date on installation writen on the engines oil filter!

The reverse of the panel,wires were refitted as they came off,we have to assume they were in their original places.

A standard Perkins 4108 control panel,note the key switch is an after market replacment,we have a 12volt socket under that black cap too,the silver button is the panel light switch.

The original loom when stripped of its cover looks like this,in this case it it is around six meters long.
