INSTALLATION GUIDE
Evinrude E-tec
A side-mounted remote control must be opened to access the ignition switch
to perform the installation. The black T-split harness used to connect the start
signal is routed out of the remote control along the control cables for gear and
throttle. The black T-split harness’ single end is connected to the brown wire in
CoastKey’s main harness.
Remove the black wire with yellow stripe from the ignition switch (see Figure 2).
(You might need to pull back the rubber boot to be able to loosen the connector.)
This wire will stay disconnected. Pull the rubber boot back on to the connector to
avoid any possibility of a short circuit. On a top-mounted or panel mounted
remote control application the ignition switch is installed in the console. In this
case there is no need to open the remote control to perform the installation.
A gray 6-pin connector is located
20-30 cm (8-12”) down the main
harness from the ignition switch /
remote control. This is the main con-
nector between the ignition switch
and the main harness from the en-
gine. This connector is disconnected
and the corresponding connectors
on CoastKey’s harness are inserted
between the original connectors so
that they form a T-connection.
