aftermarket kill switch wiring?

[isnms]

'70 Mercury 1150 inline 6, sn: 2840981 <br />One of the local fishing tournaments rule is a functioning kill switch. My boat does not have one. Also the ignition has been moved from the control box to the dash. I guess the old switch broke or something. it was that way when I got it. <br />Anyway, would wiring in an aftermarket ignition kill switch work this way?<br />

No, go from the post the mercury switch is attached to on the switchbox to ground

Then I need a magneto type kill switch instead of an ignition type, right?<br /><br />ignition type normally closed with lanyard in place<br />magneto type normally open with lanyard in place

Will this same wiring work for a 2004, 200 EFI Merc?
