    new key ignition

    Hi All, I have a 74 caravelle 16'0 w/ Mercruiser I/O. I was told if I replace the ignition switch it must be a marine switch and that you cannot use a regular switch that you could use on an old car or truck. Is this true? If it is why? John Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer this.
