Anyone know where I can find a new ignition switch for 1996 Merc 135HP with push of key to choke?

Actually you'll find that replacement keys are easily obtained. Have a look at your switch, and you'll notice an identification number on it. Take that number to your local merc shop and they probably have a key in stock, for a few dollars.

They are available online as well.

failing that take your boat to your local marine shop/yard and try all the keys should be one of about 25

1A to 2F. A dozen possibilities actually. (Unless it's an aftermarket switch.) The Merc keys have different grooves denoted by the letters. Teeth are denoted by the numbers. For example, a 1B might slide in but not turn. Then it's the 2B.
