See the rough sketch added in blue. You might want to add a fuse. And you still will need to have the ignition turned to the run position or the power pack will be grounded out.

That looks simple enough. I think that is just what I needed. Thank you very much!!!

why would you want a second switch. you need to be at the controls when the motor is running.

Agree wholeheartedly with Tash on this one. You have no way to kill the engine. You are away from the controls. No start-in-gear protection. If you need this switch for test purposes, then a simple switch with alligator clips can work. A remote start button has no use for normal operation. Am I correct in suspecting you have an ignition switch (starting circuit) problem and are looking for a cheap way around it?

I agree with TD and Silvertip as well, but that was not the question asked.
