powerpack replacement

[skeffer]

I found the amplifier/powerpack is bad on my motor is there a way the repair this or convert it so it will run and be cheper to repair then replacing the amp. The last price I could find on one was 240.00 plus a coil at 40.00.<br />I have a 71 Evinrude 60hp <br /> model #60173c.

Try www.boatfix.com. They sell Sierra parts which are less expensive than OMC.

Think that model has points.. so you can pull the powerpack out, and set it up as a car coil setup.. ie the points feed a negative to the coil and the ignition feeds the positive..<br /><br />Its pretty easy to do,, check around on the net with google.com and you might find a write up about it..<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Frank

Frank,<br />yes it does have points two sets of them. Now would I still set them up as a car would be or does the condensor get hooked up differently. This has three cyls and only one coil?
