Kill Switch-1975- Johnson 50

[DJ]

I have a 1975 Johnson 50 with the standard OMC control box.<br /><br />I want to install a kill switch. <br /><br />Which wire do I cut to install the kill switch leads?

No need to cut any wires. Simply run a wire from the black/yellow "M" terminal of the ignition switch to one terminal of the kill switch, then a wire from the other kill switch terminal to ground.

Hey DJ, I have a new Sierra lanyard 18-1282 (398602)that's still unopened if it will work on the kill switch you're installing. It's doing me no good hiding in the kitchen junk drawer if you're interested.<br /><br />Mike

DJ,<br /><br />Have you had any success on a T&T unit for that motor?

MCM,<br /><br />No, I've pretty much resolved ,to myself, that I'm going to go with a CMC unit.<br /><br />The TNT units of that vintage were rare and parts are even more so.
