"I just picked up a bas tracker with a 1991 60 hp Evinrude 3 cyl tec60tleib. It has had an electrical fire. The trim solenoids, rectifier, terminal block, and some wire was involved. Why did this occur? I have the rectifier, terminal block, relays, and wiring harness on order. What else do I need to replace?
I still need the correct wiring diagram for this engine.

"That was my first guess. The motor was in the up position, the oil, and gas tank was full. The starting/house battery was "NEW". The engine was covered with the fire extinguisher stuff. I found a blown 30 AMP fuse near the solenoid. A blow fuse should prevent a fire, unless it was the result of the fire. It looks like the fire started in the power trim relay assy, but it may have been rectifier assy. It was completely burned except for the can.
