tion for details.
Installation instructions:
1) Remove the top cowling and remove the
cover from the CDI unit on the outboard

white and green wires and install two male
bullet connectors.

bullet connector.
• White/black wire to the CDI terminal
that the white wire was removed from.
• Red wire to the red wire terminal of the
rectifier regulator
• Black wire to the black wire terminal of
the CDI.
5) Change the grommet for the black wire
from a 1-hole to a 2-hole type.
6) Clamp the adapter to the main wire har-
ness with a tie clamp.
7) Reinstall the CDI cover and the cowling.
8) Start the engine and make sure that it can
be stopped by the main switch, by the stop
switch, and by pulling the engine stop
switch lanyard.
