Reply To: Replacing early Elto Ruddertwin Coil tube

[Monte NZ]

Thanks very much Crosbyman, Bucaneer and The Boat House for vour replies

You have certainly given me some ideas to consider.

Today I was searching through some old  boxes of parts, when I discovered these coils……….it must be all of 50yrs since I got them!

I had got them from the master Evinrude agent here in Auckland, just prior to them  throwing out a lot of old stock.

I have a hunch the larger one is for an Evinrude Zephyr, but the smaller one I don’t know………there’s no part number or manufacturers names on either.

The overall length of the big one, is four and a half  inches and the smaller one is three and a quarter inches.

My meter showed 8.28 Ohms on the larger and 5.95 Ohms on the small one……..which I presume is ok?

They both have two terminals on each, indicating they are for opposed twin motors, which makes me wonder if they would be suitable replacements for the current coil.?

Attached are photos of the two coils.
