Hi Fleetwin,

I do have the 174696 which has the ignition switch in the package. The 174694 is a similar unit without the ignition switch. I can find the ‘694, but no ‘696’s in any condition. The current BRP 5006186 does have the ignition switch and is wired to mate with new technology engines. But, in essence it has the tilt and trim with a 3 wire connector that is easy to figure out, the neutral cut-out switch with a two wire connector, which is also easy to figure out and the ignition switch that is not that difficult once you match the pin-outs. While it won’t be a true ‘plug and play’ it is not that difficult to wire match to the late 80’s engine harness. Economically, I can get it within $20 of the ‘694 plus the external ignition switch.

Thanks for your thoughts. But unless somebody can come up with a ‘696 in reasonable condition, I think I’ll get the new version.
