Gents, I'm replacing the power pack on a 1991 Evinrude E10EEIR, power pack part number 584488. This is under the flywheel on these years not attached to the side as in previous years. I have the old parts off and ready to reassemble. The instructions indicate that the two wires between the power pack and the charge coil are color coded. Well, yes I guess that's true. But it's not obvious to me. The coil wire colors are 1) solid brown and 2) brown with yellow / green stripe. The two connecting wires on the power pack are BOTH brown with yellow / green stripe. (yellow / green means just one stripe but to me looks like a lime green so could be either yellow or green). I'm assuming that polarity is important. See pics for colors description. There is a slight length difference on each of the two sets of wires which, if connected as if polarized would make the connected length the same for both.<br><br>Would appreciate some guidance on the correct connection. Really only want to do this once. I have no idea what the result of an incorrect connection would be, again assuming polarity is important.<br><br>Thanks for your suggestions. I couldn't find any guidance in the service manual. It may be there and I just couldn't find it.<br><br><img src="http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=27820&stc=1" attachmentid="27820" alt="" id="vbattach_27820" class="previewthumb"><img src="http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=27820&stc=1" attachmentid="27820" alt="" id="vbattach_27820" class="previewthumb"><img src="http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=27821&stc=1" attachmentid="27821" alt="" id="vbattach_27821" class="previewthumb">
Picture of power pack (top photo) was slightly in the shadow. Lime green stripe is on the inside of the "V" shape formed by the two wires.
