Re: I can't get my '69 9.5 Johnson to turn off.
Sure, it is supposed to have a push button on the front panel. Replacement is simple, unscrew the retaining nut, put a new switch in the hole and reinstall the nut, and plug in the wires. The wires are a bit tricky to get out of the plastic plugs. There is a little prong on the wire terminal ends that you have to poke back to release them. Don't tighten the nut very tight. UM, I think you have to remove the front panel to get at the nut (?). OK, so you have to deal with the slow speed adjuster and choke rod to get the panel off. Did I mention simple?
