0586861 Evinrude Johnson Switch | Genuine OEM BRP Outboard Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine BRP Evinrude Neutral-Start and Shift-Interrupt Switch - Part Number: 0586861

A genuine BRP linkage-mounted electrical switch used on selected large Evinrude E-TEC outboards.

Depending on the engine and linkage configuration, the switch is described as a neutral-start switch or neutral/shift-interrupt switch. It detects the position of the shift mechanism so the engine-management and starting circuits can respond correctly during starting and gear engagement.

• Starter does not operate while the engine is in neutral

• Engine starts while the control is in gear

• Engine stalls or hesitates during shifting

• Shift-interrupt function remains active

• Engine-management system reports an incorrect gear position

• Switch plunger sticks or does not return

• Wiring connector is loose or corroded

• Switch operation changes when the linkage is moved manually
