trying to locate kill switch that is the push button type on the end of the steering handle. Steering handle is not listed on any schematics I’ve located. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

I am going to be blunt once again.----Took me 15 seconds to find a listing for the steering handle.----So where are you looking ?----Switch is 0583975 about $200 CA for the repair kit.

And $143.44 US on another site.

Racerone I went to marine engine and I looked on shop 2 Evinrude. Did not show the steering handle. I just need the push button on the end. Can you share the site? Thank you?

 

[merkdawg0084]

Here’s what I come up with.

??----Did you look on the ---" exhaust housing "----page ?

 

[merkdawg0084]

My apologies for being a dumb arse. When I’ve looked up other motors they typically have a steering handle link, I completely overlooked the exhaust housing.

fyi its part # 392968. its such a simple switch, you could easily repair yours if possible, or get a cheap replacement aftermarket for $10. just grounds out the ignition simple as wrapping 2 leads together.

0392968 was original part # ----But that is shown as NLA today !!

Yes!! Very pricey. And I really just need the rubber piece in the end of the handle. The rubber is deteriorated.

 

[cprodave]

Can the rubber be revived by spraying with silicone spray over a period of several days? Or is it "too far gone"?

 

[merkdawg0084]

Too far gone. Thx though
