Re: 25hp Evinrude broken key new ignition switch

Some of the older ones had a 'safety' switch on the engine preventing from engaging the starter when in gear.
Se #63 on below:

That means you may have one switch in the remote and another on the engine.
Forget about the black/yellow, has nothing to do with starter function.
Time to pull out the multimeter and check from ignition switch- through switch in remote -through switch on engine - to starter relay -to starter
Just follow the 'yellow/red' cable.
With key on 'start' it should be 12 Volts in the yellow/red all the way.

Thanks for the guidance Haffiman, I really appreciate your help!

Still down and out currently, but will follow your guidance as soon as I recover a little.
