[moreboatsthnfish]

Hi all, I have a 200hp ocean pro evinrude 1996 mod, I have had new forward controls & wiring harness fitted. She starts &runs fine but will not shut down from key or lanyard. I am told it may be faulty wire between harness plug & black box on engine. Can anyone please tell me the colour of this wire or any other idear what the prob may be?
Thanks for looking.

(Ignition Kill Circuit)
(J. Reeves)

A Black wire (ground) should lead from the powerhead to the powerpack. There will also be a Black/Yellow wire leading from the powerpack to a raised "M" terminal of the ignition switch. To complete the circuit, there will be a Black wire from the other "M" terminal of the ignition switch to ground.

When the key is in the OFF position = The two "M" terminals are connected,. effectively shorting/killing the ignition.

When the key in ON position = The two "M" terminals are not connected and the ignition is engaged.
