Looks like your standard Johnson/Evinrude power pilot control box from 1973-1980

Thank you for the fast response. Any idea where to get parts for it? I was going to replace the spring switch and im not sure of the name of the other part its round and has 3 to 4 wires going to it. Sorry new to boats. whats going on is i turn the key and nothing happens.

Hey Ezmobee thank you for the link helped out alot found out that its just a horn assemb. But i found the nuetral cut off switch and they no longer sell them. Anyway I can bypass the switch to see if it is the issue? also any ideas about whats going on with it? Turn the key nothing happens but if i jump the starter with the battery it works.

My '73 neutral safety switch went bad and I bypassed it (I realize this is a safety issue). A simple continuity tester is all that would be needed to test your ignition switch.
