1 Get yourself a spell check and use it. "ignation" doesn't compute

2 Use the search function located at the top right that says "Search This Forum"

3 Where did the old one go?

I used the search function in the appropriate forum and came up with a whole page of results.

Here ya go...

Moving to Mercury/Mariner forum. It is NOT a Force or Chrysler outboard guys, it's a Mariner.

The switch should have 6 letters on it A, M, M, B, C, and S.
The wires are color coded as follows
It does not make any difference which M the Blk or Blk/Yel is on.

A = Purple
M = Black
M = Black/Yellow
B = Red
C = Yellow/Black
S = Yellow/Red

Re: 1988 ignation diagram

The i stands for igntion, which is the same as A on a Merc switch.
Yes, the switch you have will work.
