Mercury controls- question on ignition replacement

I'm in the process of installing an older Mercury Black Max outboard on a Tracker Nitro Bass Boat. I have the controls but no key, so I was wondering if anyone can help me out with finding the correct ignition to buy. It's a push-to-choke type ignition. I've attached a couple of pics of what I have. Is something like this http://www.iboats.com/3_Position_Pus...-view_id.39663 what I need? Thanks.

Yep, the one in your link would do the job. Off/ON/START, push to choke.

You could also get one that has accessories if you want, they are called '4 position' with push to choke.

Ok thanks I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. I don't think I'll need the 4 position because the boat has a dash mount breaker panel that has a master on-off switch and all of the accessories (bilge, lights, livewells, etc.) are already wired through the panel independently of the ignition.

Thanks again.
