I am going to put my 1971 50 HP evinrude on a new 1760 F&F aluminum boat I am having built. My evinrude has console steering and controls so I opted for a center console. This rig will be for duckhunting and rather than look for the keys at 2:00 am I want to wire the ignition to toggles and a pushbutton start. Never want to worry about forgetting or loosing the boat key. <br /><br /> My question is how to wire it to the switches, and if it can even be done.<br /><br />I can probably work it out myself, but was wondering if there is anything I should watch out for.<br /><br /> Here is how the back of the switch is wired, looking at it from behind:<br /><br /> A = 2 black wires, one goes to main harness back to engine, the other goes to a ground on the control box.<br /><br /> B = large red wire with a spiral white stripe, it is a constant hot, power source. Goes into main harness.<br /><br /> C = smaller black wire with a thin yellow stripe. it goes into main harness.<br /><br /> D = white wire, only hot when ignition is in "start" position.<br /><br /> E = 3 purple wires, one goes to choke, one goes to buzzer, and a larger one goes to the selectric shift. These are hot with the ignition in the "run" position.<br /><br /> Could these be wired to a toggle switch or two and then a pushbutton starter switch?<br /><br /> Thanks, Gary<br />
