    Default 1971 evinrude selectric wiring diagram.

    Edit2: Ok apparently there is a small difference between the 50hp 2 cylinder and the 60hp 3 cylinder. The 50hp diagram helped but it would still be nice to have one for a 60hp, if not does anyone know if and where a zanier (sp?) diode could be found on the 60hp.
    I am looking for a full wiring diagram of a 60hp 1971 selectric. I have one out of an omc book but it is overly simplified and does not have the need information. I also need a wiring diagram for the control. If anyone has one and would email me a copy I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks

    EDIT: Also if anyone has a picture of their motor with the cover off of the wiring terminals on the right side and or a picture of the control box. If not another piece of information we could use is the size of the blocking diode in the control box. Again Thanks.

    If you have the OMC diagram, you have the best one. What are you trying to figure out?

    (It is out of an omc book but shows very little) We are trying to check the wiring to make sure everything is connected right, we have had various electrical problems with the motor and need a fully detailed diagram like you might see in a shop manuel.

    I don't know of anyplace on line that has the manauls on line, copyrite laws. Might be your best bet is to get the factory manual.

    I was afraid of. Well if anyone has a diagram that doesnt have a copy right or is no longer under copy (by some rare chance) It would still be appreciated. Thanks

    They appear to be wired pretty much the same based on comparing my diagram and yours. But yours definitely has more detail and looks like it should help us.
    Thank You

    Are you talking about the diode for the shift? #79 below.

    No the one I am talking about works like a voltage regulator and will probably be located on the motor itself.

    # 43 is the rectifer and works as a voltage regulator, #45, is that the diode you are looking for?

    Would you happen to know what it is exactly that #45 does?

    sorry for those of you who dont know what part 45 is, its a diode on the motor with 3 wires coming out of it.
