So I made it all the way back to about 100 feet from my marina and I stalled (which happens if I put it in neutral too fast). No big deal so I go to start it up again (2004 SR 220) and when I turn the key I feel something break inside the switch and now the key just freely turns. Cannot start the boat. Luckily a jet skier was able to grab a bow line and pull me the remaining 100 feet.
Now I've got the switch out - it's a Sea Dog replacement I guess the PO must've put in who knows when. It's got 4 prongs on the back labeled B, S, I and A. (For reference B hooks to the red with blue stripe wire. S connects to yellow with red stripe wire. Light blue wire goes on I. And red wire and black wire both hook up to A).
This one looks like a drop in replacement but it's the same plasticky looking one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261774929940
I was shocked at how easily mine broke.
Here's one that looks like it will fit in the dash hole, and it's made out of brass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301277358077
Anyone have any advice as to what I should get? Thanks.
