Re: 15hp kill switch install questions
What have you got now? You said on/off switch and that brings to mind a toggle type of switch to me. If you have the factory, rubber button, switch it is already a kill switch. I've put lanyard kill switches on a 9.5 and 9.9 and it is a real simple procedure. The switch I used was made by Sea Dog and had two sets of contacts, normally open and normally closed. I snipped the wires close to the factory switch, removed it and installed the lanyard switch in the same hole. Can't remember but I think I re-used a washer that is part of the factory switch. GO for it you will find it to be an easy job. I purchased the Sea Dog switch at a marine store but in looking they were available at Toys R Us but only in the U.S., not in the Canadian stores. I made a few extra clips for emergencies with a dremel tool and wired them to the motor just in case I ever lost the lanyard. When not in sue I put the lanyard under the cowl for storage.
Best of luck. Rick.
