Understanding How to Wire an Evinrude Ignition Switch
Having a functioning ignition switch on your Evinrude outboard motor is essential if you want to get the most out of it. To ensure that your boat is always ready to hit the water, you should have a solid understanding of how to wire your Evinrude’s ignition switch.

Knowing how to wire an Evinrude ignition switch can be overwhelming due to the complexity of the wiring harness that comes with it. Thankfully, all the necessary wiring diagrams and instructions are included in the package, making it easier for you to understand and complete the wiring process.

The basic procedure for wiring an Evinrude ignition switch involves connecting two large wires from the engine to the ignition switch, a black wire from the battery to the ignition switch, and a red wire from the starter solenoid to the ignition switch. It also involves connecting the wiring harness directly to the engine, which consists of two small gauge wires and one large gauge wire.

The first step in wiring your Evinrude ignition switch is to locate the two large wires running from the engine. These are typically located at the front or back of the engine, depending on the model. Once you have located the wires, disconnect them from their current connection and connect them to their new location on the ignition switch.

Next, you will need to connect the black wire from the battery to the ignition switch. This wire should be connected to the “B” terminal, which is located on the side of the switch. The “B” terminal should be easy to spot as it is usually identified with a black label. After the black wire is connected, you can move on to the red wire from the starter solenoid. This wire should be connected to the “S” terminal, which is also located on the side of the switch.

Finally, you will need to connect the wiring harness directly to the engine. This involves connecting the two small gauge wires and the one large gauge wire to their respective connectors on the engine. Once this is done, you can then secure the wiring harness with screws and clamps.

After you have completed the above steps, your Evinrude ignition switch should be properly wired and ready to go. Remember, however, that if you encounter any issues while wiring your Evinrude ignition switch, it is always advisable to consult a professional mechanic for assistance. With their help, you can ensure that your boat is running properly and safely at all times.
