kill switches
 
i'm looking to add kill switches to my boat as it was not equiped with them from the factory. it is a 260 scorpion with a pair of small blocks and i just think it would be a good idea to have them. i kind of like the ones that Donzi uses with the toggle switch. anybody have any links or places i can find them (actually links to any kill switch would be cool ). any ideas? thanks all :cool: :cool: :cool:

Mercury makes them. I am sure you can get them from Bam and many other places. They have a couple wires for normally open and normally closed operation so you can put them in a couple different ways. I would use the black ones that have the caps. HOWEVER make sure you get extra caps. Because if you ever get tossed then the people on board will need a way to come back and get you!!!

We carry the Merc Cap style mentioned above. Just give a call if you need. Use our part 368 100 (Merc 87-856654A1). Recommend you get an extra cap too.

909-392-7300.

Merc one runs 25 bucks. Nice piece.

Question: On an MSD ignition, can you just use the ignition power wires @ the key switch for the safety switch, or do you have to run wires back to the main power feed for the box??

Mine just break the circuit from the key switch and work fine with the MSD's.

Don't forget to run the electric fuel pumps off the kill switch too.

I used the switch from Cpperformance
Great toggle switch
I have extra clips, but you are still able to flip the toggle up without the cord. thiss can be both good n bad
main reason I went with this is due to one switch will kill twin engines
it hooks to the key switch
