Hello,
Can anyone tell me where the Neutral Safety Switch is located, is it inside the actual controller or someplace else
Here is a pic to the Single Handle Trim Controller (88688a26)

Issue I have is I can't start the engine (won't turn) unless I wiggle and play around with the controller a couple of times, it finally died on me and no matter how much I play with it, it won't start anymore. I had a friend bypass it and it started in gear with no problems. I cannot get a hold of him so figured I would ask here. I did some reading around and it could be corrosion perhaps but I don't know where to begin, I got all the manuals and I got under the instrument panel but it?s a wire mess down there and i don't want to screw anything up.
One thing to add: I keep the boat covered all the time, however I noticed a tear in the material right next to the controller so I know for a fact that before this whole issue started water defiantly got in on it a couple of times.
I think I covered everything, if not please ask away and thanks for the help!
