I need a new ignition switch but not sure which one to get

The boat is a 1988 Nitro F/S
The engine is a 1986 Mariner 135 (0b106463)
The remote control is a Quicksilver I-Don't-know-what (see pic - not this exact one but exactly like it)
I know that the switch is the push-to-choke variety but not sure beyond that

So I'm hoping that someone can tell from the attached pics (i do have more if needed) which switch I need

Thanks!

EDIT: more info added
It looks to me like this is the order of the wires going around the switch, the colors of the wires and how many of each color is connected
2 red
1 yel/blk
1 yel/red
1 blk
2 purple
1 blk/yel

Looks like this one should work, tie 2 reds and 2 purples together.

Wiring diagram
View attachment 215836

thanks for the link (that's the one I'm going with) and diagram but one question about that diagram.
It shows black in two different places, both say magneto...shouldn't one of those be the black with yellow stripe?

I found this...why would it differ?

Red is connected to the battery
Yellow with the red stripe is for the solenoid
Yellow with the black stripe is the choke
Black is the magneto ground
Purple wire is the ignition (diagram says accessories)
Black with the yellow stripe is the magneto - not to be confused with the magneto ground

So on the diagram, any idea which of the Magneto it refers to is the actual magneto and which is ground?

It makes no difference which wire goes to which "M" terminal. The switch merely connects the two terminals to kill the engine.
