I just upgraded from Jon Boats to my first bass boat (1978 Cobra Phantom with 78 1150), YEA ME!
I am disabled and am now on a mission to install a kill switch on this old engine. I purchased a quicksilver kit # 87 19674A07. In the RUN position the two wires do not make a circuit. In the OFF position they do. I am assuming that this style switch is used for magneto type ignitions and I have a distributor and coil.
My questions are:
1) do I need to incorporate a relay in order to kill the 12v from my key switch?
2) where might I obtain a manual that shows the wiring for this old beast?
I am very good with electrical and have no concerns about doing the job properly, just wanna make sure that is my one legged butt leaves the vehicle I don't have to then worry about catching the boat or being ran over by it.
Thanks
