    External wiring harness for 56 evinrude 30

    Re: External wiring harness for 56 evinrude 30 You are lucky in that you dont have a plug to worry about. In 56 the wiring was hard wired to the motor. This makes it easy to replace, as you dont need to find a connector. Go to your local hardware store, and get some #4 welding cable and...
