Powerquest230 06-30-2011 09:37 PM

Couldn't you just wire both through a single switch?

Mine is wired through a single switch. I got a nice looking billet one to match my guage bezels. Could have been livorsi.

Thats how mine was set up from the factory.

Fountain sells on for about $35 including the lanyard. I think it is a double pole single throw switch because it has two identical sets of wires coming out of it, one for each engine.

I checked cp they only have one listed for a single engine how do i get a hold of fountain?

I did 2 and just tied the two lanyards together.
There is nothing that both motors use together that way there will never be both motors down because of one part.

whoops. Didn't catch that.

Bringing this old thread back up again.

My twin outboard Skater has 2 Mercury Racing kill switches:

The starboard kill switch kills both engines. The port kill switch kills the port engine only. That does not seem right. How are these supposed to be wired?
