2008 Four Winns H180 unknown function

[dogmanoffreedom]

Hi,
I recently purchased a 2008 Four Winns H180. There is a strange looking protrusion just to the right of the ignition switch. (picture attached) Can't figure out what it does, but it has wires connected to the back of it. Anyone with this boat know what this is for? Can't find mention of it in the manual. Thank you.

Could it be for the motor kill switch, if you pull on it does the end piece pop off???

That's the button for the horn.

Could also be a resettable ignition breaker. Pops out on overload.

I have the same boat and button, it's to launch the torpedos

I believe thats what it is. Our boat(07 H180) has an ignition breaker there but it doesnt have the little black boot over it, just a white button that pops out when over loaded.

The horn has its own switched labeled 'horn.'

Torpedoes? Dang, I need to look into buying me a Four Winns.

Re: 2008 Four Winns H180 unknown function

Some very funny answers, guys. No torpedoes on the smaller models . However, it seems the ignition breaker makes the most sense. Thanks for your responses.

Now thats funny.. i'd like that option on my boat. On second thought i'd probably get in trouble at the boat ramp waiting on the idiots!!
