engine kill switch.

i have a 2 prong kill switch from a bayliner that i am trying to install into our 1985 omc stringer 400. any ideas on how to hook this up?

How about showing where it is mounted?

if it is a kill switch from an outboard
step 1 throw it away it wont work
step 2 - spend $10 on a new kill switch
step 3 install on the dash
step 4 wire in the purple wire between the ignition switch and the rest of the boat

if its a kill switch from an I/O
step 1 install on the dash
step 2 wire in the purple wire between the ignition switch and the rest of the boat

what part of you wire it in the purple wire did you not understand from post #3?

red is battery power
yellow/red is start
purple is igniti0n

you take the purple wire , you cut it, you put the switch between the two cut ends of the purple wire.

why would you install a bayliner dash in a boat? some of the worst gauges on the planet
