Test the switch and if its bad replace it. But it is not a safe thing to do by by passing it.

Bypassing that switch is a very good way to dump somone overboard, or to crash into someone or something as you attempt to start the boat with it in gear. That switch is there for a reason. Fix it. Just because the parts list says obsolete does not mean it is not available from the aftermarket.

To bypass the switch For testing purposes, just hook the two wires going to the switch together.

I had to buy a used complete throttle quadrant to get a switch for mine.
