⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT – 6H3 CDI FAMILY
This CDI is designed for selected Yamaha engines using the:
6H3-85540 CDI FAMILY
Before ordering, check the part number on your original CDI.
Ideally, it should correspond with one of these numbers:
6H3-85540-10
6H3-85540-11
6H3-85540-12
6H3-85540-13
⚠️ 70 HP Owners – Please Read
This is particularly important for 70 HP Yamaha outboards.
The 6H3 CDI family is primarily associated with selected 70 HP engines from 1984–1991.
From approximately 1992 onwards, many Yamaha 70 HP models use a different 6H2-series CDI ignition system.
Therefore:
70 HP + 2 Stroke does NOT automatically mean this CDI will fit.
Please check your original CDI part number and exact engine model before ordering.
6H3 vs 6H2 – Do Not Confuse Them
Yamaha used different ignition systems on different 60 HP and 70 HP models.

What Is the CDI Unit?
The CDI – Capacitor Discharge Ignition – unit is an important component of the Yamaha outboard ignition system.
It controls the ignition operation and helps provide the electrical output required to fire the ignition coils at the correct time.
A faulty CDI / ignition pack can be associated with symptoms such as:
- No spark
- Loss of spark on one or more cylinders
- Intermittent spark
- Difficult starting
- Misfiring
- Engine cutting out
- Loss of ignition when hot
- Irregular engine operation
Important
These symptoms do NOT automatically mean the CDI unit is faulty.
Similar symptoms can be caused by other components within the ignition system.
Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the CDI.

⚠️ Appearance Does Not Confirm Fitment
If the CDI unit looks the same as the one fitted to your engine, this does not always mean it is the correct part for your outboard.
Different Yamaha CDI units can look very similar externally but have different:
- Internal specifications
- Ignition characteristics
- Wiring configurations
- Electrical connections
- Applications
Always check the original CDI part number and exact engine details.
Before Replacing Your CDI Unit
If your Yamaha has an ignition problem, we recommend checking the complete ignition system before installing a replacement CDI.
Check:
- Stator / source coil output
- Trigger / pulser components
- Ignition coils
- Spark plugs
- Spark plug caps and leads
- Stop / kill circuit
- Engine earth / ground connections
- CDI wiring
- Electrical connectors
- Burnt or corroded terminals
- Damaged wiring
A fault elsewhere in the ignition system can produce symptoms similar to a failed CDI unit.
