Hi,
I am rewiring circuits for a boat with 1984 Evinrude 35hp and would like to add a kill-switch for the key-switch electric ignition and a main fuse for starter power.
Judging by the wiring schemantics in Seloc repair manual the key switch seems to connect M and M terminals in OFF position and connect B (battery?) into A at ON position. Should I use a ON connecting switch between M and M or a OFF disconnecting switch in A for a kill-switch?
Then for the main fuse, any idea how much power the starter requires? I am thinking a 100A fuse would do, it provides about 1,2kW.
EDIT: I found the specs and the starter should need no more than 26 or 38A and the forum would suggest that connecting the two terminals as in off-position is the correct way to wire the kill-switch.
