CDI Electronics 183-2366 Johnson Evinrude Ignition Coil, Replaces 584561, Fits 2-6 Cylinder Cross Flow Engines 1977-1984

The CDI Electronics 183-2366 is an ignition coil built for Johnson and Evinrude Cross Flow outboard engines. CDI Electronics designs its ignition and diagnostic components as a cost-effective alternative to OEM-supplied parts, without sacrificing the quality and reliability boaters expect from their ignition system. This coil fits a wide span of Cross Flow engine configurations, from 2-cylinder powerheads up through 6-cylinder blocks, making it a common replacement part for owners of 1977-1984 Johnson/Evinrude outboards. The 183-2366 ships with the plug wire included, so installers have what they need to complete the ignition coil swap without sourcing a separate wire. As an ignition coil, its job is to step up the low-voltage signal from the outboard's ignition system to the high voltage needed to fire the spark plug reliably at every RPM range the engine runs through. Because this part replaces numerous factory Johnson/Evinrude coil part numbers used across different model years and horsepower ratings, confirming the HP and year range of your outboard against the fitment list below is the best way to make sure the 183-2366 is the correct coil for your application.
