Product Overview
No spark, a hot-soak stall, or timing that drops out can lead to the CDI only after the stop circuit, grounds, ignition coil, pulser coil, charge coil, wiring, and connectors test correctly. A shorted external circuit can damage a replacement module.
The CDI controls spark triggering for specific Yamaha small-outboard electrical systems. Year codes, tiller versus remote controls, electric-start options, and connector pinning create many variations, so use the complete engine model code and stamped 68T number.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, connector, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original component and reference information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a faulty kill switch imitate a failed CDI? A: Yes. A grounded stop circuit can remove spark from an otherwise good ignition module.
Q: Will this fit every Yamaha 9.9 HP four-stroke? A: No. Yamaha used multiple ignition systems; the full model code and 68T part number must match.
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Match the full Yamaha outboard model and year code, 68T-85540-00, connector count and pinning, case, mounting points, and ignition-system test results.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
