What Is the CDI / Ignition Pack?
The CDI – Capacitor Discharge Ignition – unit is an important component of the Yamaha outboard ignition system.
It controls the ignition system and delivers the required electrical output to the ignition coils at the appropriate 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 that the CDI unit is faulty.
Similar problems can be caused by other components in the ignition system.
Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the CDI unit.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – Check Before Ordering
Please do NOT order this CDI by horsepower or year alone.
Yamaha used different CDI / ignition units depending on the exact engine model and specification.
Before purchasing, please check:
- Engine horsepower
- Exact Yamaha model
- 2-stroke engine
- 3-cylinder configuration
- Engine serial number
- Original CDI part number
- Electrical connectors
- Wiring configuration
- Mounting arrangement
Ideally, match your original CDI to one of these references:
688-85540-12
688-85540-13
688-85540-14
688-85540-15
688-85540-16
⚠️ 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 electrical specifications and applications.
Always check the original part number and exact engine details.
If you are unsure, contact SSI Marine before purchasing.
Before Replacing Your CDI Unit
If your Yamaha has an ignition fault, we recommend checking the complete ignition system before installing a replacement CDI.
Check:
- Stator / source coil output
- Pulser / trigger 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.
