nope<br /> its a simple rewire.<br />is your switch dash mounted or in the control box ?

Rodbolt,my key switch is on the dash.my engine control has one handle with a button to take it out of gear to start the engine.I would rather not have to change it because my boat is completely original.<br />ken

Hey Ken, I,ve seen it done with some older boats in local bass tourneys. I,m a moron when it comes to explaining this stuff,you should be able to wire the switch to your ignition. post in the electric section, I'm sure someone can exlpain it better than me.<br /><br /> Jim
