ELECTRICAL AND IGNITION
ELECTRIC STARTER TESTS
Emergency Stop Switch Test
This switch can be incorporated into the key
switch or installed as a separate switch. Either
style effectively connects the “M” terminals of the
key switch.
The emergency stop switch function grounds the
stop circuit wire (black/yellow) when the lanyard
clip is removed. One “M” terminal is the ground
wire (black) and one “M” terminal is the stop circuit
wire (black/yellow).
Install the clip on the emergency stop switch or
key switch. Start the outboard. Pull the clip from
the switch. The outboard must stop running.

Use an ohmmeter to measure resistance.
STEP 1
Put one ohmmeter lead on the starter positive (+)
cable terminal and the other ohmmeter lead on
the battery positive (+) cable terminal:
•
Ohmmeter must not show continuity (high read-
ing).
•
If ohmmeter shows continuity (low reading),
replace the solenoid.
