Hello,
I'm looking to replace the ignition switch in my 1989 Sea Ray. Everything I read reads 1990 and up. I even got the number from the parts PDF on the Sea Ray site and can't find it anywhere on the internet.
Thanks in advance.
Frank

Have you tried marinengine.com? ********** has a bunch of older stuff too.

You only need 3 (assuming you have an IO), the 4 is for accessories. But, on marine setups, you do not run accessories off the key switch, there is supposed to be a separate panel for all your lights, pumps, radios, electronics etc.

You really need to give engine info on things affecting the engine. The ignition switch is definitely one of them.

Your exactly right Don. I have a separate Switch for accessories. Thanks so much for your knowledge.

Cool Don. Will one of these work for the old MerControl boxes as well?

Probably not, not enough info to say.

You really need to start your own thread if you need answers, not hijack nscrfan3's thread.

Mine was doing that after i had the console out while putting in a floor. Got rained on a couple of times and didnt want to turn after I reinstalled it. I took some Teflon lube and smeared it on the key, after a little bit of wiggling it works fine.
