Like Fun Times said - It's a safety switch. The purpose is to not allow the motor to start or shut the motor off if it is tilted too high when the cooling water intake is raised out of the water. It can keep the motor from overheating.

Hope that helps.

Thanks I changed all my ignition parts except that piece. It was connected to my switch boxes an was wondering if it would cause New parts to go bad
