ELECTRICAL AND IGNITION
ELECTRIC START CIRCUIT
Start Circuit Operation
The starter must engage and turn the flywheel.
The outboard must crank a minimum of 100 RPM
to start. Normal cranking speed is approximately
175 RPM.
Starter performance depends on the following:
Proper battery and cable capacity.
•
Clean, tight cable connections.
•
Solenoid activation through the key switch, neu-
•
tral safety switch, and EMM.
Refer to Battery Installation on p. 27 for battery,
terminal, and cable requirements.
Solenoid Wiring
The positive (B+) battery cable connects to a large
terminal of the starter solenoid. This terminal also
provides the 12 V power supply to the engine har-
ness (red wire) and the 10 A fuse. The red/purple
wire from the fuse holder (10 A) provides 12 V to
terminal "B" of key switch.
The negative (B–) battery cable connects to the
main ground stud next to starter solenoid.
Engine Wire Harness
Contains the following circuits:
Red/purple output wire from fuse provides 12 V
•
to instrument harness.
Purple wire provides switched 12 V to solenoid
•
(terminal "A") and EMM.
Yellow/red wire provides switched 12 V to
•
EMM.
Brown/white wire from terminal 11 of EMM J1-B
•
connector provides switched ground (NEG) to
starter solenoid (terminal "B").

Instrument Wire Harness
Contains the following circuits:
Red/purple wire provides 12 V to key switch ter-
•
minal "B".
Purple wire provides switched 12 V to engine
•
wire harness.
Yellow/red wire from terminal "S" of key switch
•
provides switched 12 V to EMM (key switch in
START position).
Key Switch, ON position
12 V is applied to the accessory circuit. Key
switch ON:
Switches 12 V to terminal "A" of key switch and
•
to the purple wires of the wire harnesses.
Provides 12 V input to terminal 21 of EMM J1-B
•
connector. EMM turns ON.
EMM provides 12 V to terminal "A" of starter
•
solenoid.
