Thanks, I appreciate the the advice R Socey, but I should have asked this in another way - If you were a marine mechanic and work on many brands and have to warranty the work, which switch would you install?
Ignition switches often have several wires hooked up to work in certain contact patterns, It is simpler to go the whom ever makes the controller and buy a replacement
That said you can of course wire up about any thing and turn it into a nightmare.
