The non thinking idiot that I am hung my 97 225 Merc EFI on my boat today but forgot that I have no batts, wiring, or wiring harness in the boat right now. So it is stuck in the bride's parking spot (she's not pissed yet - she ain't seen it yet but http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/images/smilies/shocked.gif).

I can't move it out as I'll drag the skeg going out of the driveway and till the grass backing her into her spot....

Suggestions?

Thanks!

I Have just hooked a battery charger up to the trim pump wires, or a set of jumper cables to a battery, if it's a 2 wire pump then you just have to reverse + and - to change direction.
