tohatsu help needed

[leehall91]

Hello i have a mod 50 d2 and im trying to put a kill switch on it is there any secrets? thanks lee

My service manual says it's the brown wire coming out of the CD unit.
Just ground the brown wire and you'll shut her down. But lemme double check on my motor tomorrow. The manual's a little vague.

Your Right, It's the Brown Wire.

my problem is I need to wire 2 kill switches one for me and co driver (slt inflatable boat)I can only get 1 switch to work .Can i ground the coils or will this hurt the stator? thanks lee

E-mail me a simple wiring diagram of your kill circuits (Driver and Rider). I am sure we can get it to kill the engine from 2 switches.

Is the Tohatsu and Ground/ run , no ground / no run system? I seem to remember they had a wierd switch position when I was a dealer.

[leehall91]

I think it is a ground to run because I can get the switch to work but it is backwards pull the switch and I get spark put the switch on and no spark !
