1959 evinrude 10hp 10018-4390.
I installed new coils but now the skill switch wires that went under the old coils don't fit.
I tried just to tightin down the new coils over the wires but that just distorted the coils.
I have also tried to rerout the wires but , Im concerned with the wires rubbing under the plate and under the flywheel..
I was thinking of just drilling new holes in the plate and re wiring that way but wanted to ask first..
thanks.........

See the last post in this thread. Very similar.

DO NOT be drilling any holes. If you have to, you're not doing something right.



Hmmm, forget something???:rolleyes:

if it is an exact replacement part it should work,
Have you installed them the same as the ones you took out?
do you have a manual?
there is a coil alinment tool for some motors,
Do not drill any holes,

well the kill swtich wires go under the coils yes and then there is this little hole next to the coils i think on the left in which they go through. the wires may seem it wont fit i believe but just gotta tuck it under there away from evrything. i always check evrytime i did somethign that it wont get tnagled in something. then after u must runt he wires aroudn with the spark plgu wires and out ot the switch.


let me now how u connnected to it the button? i couldnt connect my to it wasnt sure how. like i couldnt get it taken out. so what i did was just splice both ends of the wire and connect. it works fine. there is no particular order in connecting them


i have a 1959 10p eivnrude also runs great finsihed retsoring it.

when torque the flywheel down i believe its 40-50 pounds so do 45 ft pounds.
