I am looking for a wiring diagram for a 70's model Evinrude 60 HP keyswitch. The replacement switch has the standard A, B, S, M, C, M terminals. Wires are black, black/yellow, red, purple/white, double purple, yellow.

Re: Evinrude keyswitch

Hi Pat and welcome to iboats!<br /><br />The black wire will go to one of the "M"'s.<br /><br />The black/yellow stripe wire will go to the other "M". One of the "M" terminals is an "upright" terminal...or should be...this is where the Black/yellow usually goes. If all the terminals are the same, it doesn't make any difference what "M" terminals are used.<br /><br />Purple/white stripe wire goes to the "C"...choke.<br /><br />Yellow wire will go to the "S"...start.<br /><br />Red wire goes to the "B"...battery.<br /><br />Double purple goes to the "A"...accessory.<br /><br />Hope this helps.
