Yamaha Electric Start

Post by Mal »

I've just purchased a used Yamaha 9.9hp with electric start, 1995 model. The one it is to replace is the identical engine, but manual start. I will therefore have to replace the present light guage charging-only two core cable from the engine to the (I assume) main battery switch in the saloon cupboard to port of the main hatch.

What is the standard arrangement for the electric start motor? Is there a plug/socket on the transom, or is there some kind of terminal post arrangement in the aft port side of the cockpit follor locker?

The present (light) cable went to a plug/socket on the transom, and a cable from that runs forward in mini-trunking inside the cockpit floor locker, probably to the main battery switch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
