What lanyard kill switch to get?
Looking for a kill switch to install in the 86 272 formula. Not looking to spend big money, but the $10 ones on eBay do not instill any confidence either.
Anything out there in the 25 to 50 range that will kill both motors?

Ok, found some
Alright, helps to sort by price, highest first. Quicksilver has one for $46 delivered. Looks just like a Dpst toggle. Insert your lanyard and then put switch in run position. The little hood around the switch prevents the lanyard from coming off until the switch flips to open.
Good thing about this, is I am thrown from boat, a passenger could just refill the switch and restart to pick me up. Don't need the key to operate it. Also any lanyard with a loop would work.
I do not know what all the extra parts are for, I would think the two ignition wires from the key switch would just run through the switch. Does seem overly simple. Anyone? Did I miss something?

I like the cole hersee one, no key required if I go overboard or I lose it. But they look cheap and are only single pole, need a double. I have good switches, hate paying about $30 for a cheap plastic bevel and a lanyard. I think I will fab up a bevel, cast it in a little silicone, and make my own switch. maybe in the shape of the formula bird! That would be cool.
