1986 60hp merc ignition switch

[juneaux]

The plastic housing on my 1986 60hp merc has broken and now the entire switch turns when I turn the key. I wanted to install an aftermarket "on/off/push to choke" switch in the dash, but am concerned about which wires are which. Does anyone have a resource on the net where I might find a little help/wiring diagram? At the same time I also want to install two more switches for my hydraulic tilt. One in the bow and one in the stern.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Blair

I would consult your local dealer - the mechanice woudl be happy to walk you through it. I will say however, after breaking the key off in the ignition on my MasterCraft, I had to replace it with a cheap Cobals switch, and it's nowhere near the quality of what I had.
