wiring diagram for 69 evinrude

[evin4069]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 1969 Evinrude 40hp Selectric Shift model #40973R that they would send to me, please? A friend of mine was given this motor and doesn't know if the motor is worth putting any money into it or not but he has to get it started first and says the wiring is in terrible shape.
Thank you in advance.

I have the diagram for a 1966. They should be the same. Interested?

Re: wiring diagram for 69 evinrude

I would also be interested in that wiring diagram, mine is a 69 40hp lark
I have a round black plug at the motor. I have both sides of the plug and I'm going to have to rewire the motor. luckly the only good wires are to the lower unit for the magnetic clutches and they ohm out good. The wires I would like identified are
yellow
violet/white tracer
tan
green
blue
grey
I also have a large red wire and orange wire,(about 10 gauge)

Re: wiring diagram for 69 evinrude

I recently purchased a 1969 Checkmate with a 1969 40hp Evinrude motor. The problem is the ignition switch is all screwed up. Two owners ago wired in a goofy switch. When you turn the key clockwise that engages the starter, at the same time there is voltage supplied to the forward/reverse switches (depending on which one is pressed). When the motor actually starts you have to turn the key counter-clockwise to disengage the starter, and when you do the voltage to the forward/reverse switch is also turned off, so the boat sits there with the motor running. Does anybody know where I can find the wiring diagram for the ignition switch?

Look here:

Be very careful; if voltage is applied to both Fwd and Rev at the same time, bad things will happen. Very bad, expensive things......
