This was for the tabs, so I needed the diode harness,#9 (x2) also. The tube for the wires I think was just brake tubing. I drilled a hole in the shifter knob base for tube to slip into for the wires to pass thru, and fastened the tube to the lever base. Or as smok'n gun mentioned, just use shrink wrap. I tried to copy the look of the factory levers, thus with the tube

I actually contacted Marc, but I freaking hate email. It drives me absolutely nuts to email, and it takes 2 to 3 days to get answers to my questions. I am not the most patient person LOL. I couldn't find a number to reach him, but I will admit I didn't spend a ton of time looking. I emailed him probably mid afternoon, and I did get a response but it was at the end of the day. I sent back some questions so I guess we will be back at it tomorrow. Looking to iron this out farely quickly cause for some crazy reason I just want the projects to be done and my boat be ready for spring. Its the patience thing again lol. I am actually surprised I kept it together for the past 3 months working on the projects lol

heres a nice cheap way to do it ive done many like this.the older zero efforts without trim in handle can be converted easily .there is 2 screws under the cover on the throttle where the trim would go .remove those and drill a hole for the wires on the new switch to run down .i usually use a piece of black shrink tube and a small tie wrap to keep it in place.any ways the switch is on ebay great lakes skipper has em ive done many this way

These are still available, but guy said they were made to fit gaffrig or livorsi controls, he said he was unsure how they would fit the KK controls. Anyone used this before on the KK controls???
