2003 SAN limited kill switch lanyard

[gdhall]

So I broke the plastic kill switch key that holds the button down in the kill switch in my boat and I can't seem to find one to fit. Nautique dealer said $30 for a new one. Anyone got a solution or know where I can get one cheaper? I've glued it back twice I think it's done now

$10 from NautiqueParts:

If you need it faster you should be able to find it at a decent boat shop or marina or heck even Wamart (which I think is where my spare multi-adapter set came from). If not order a spare as well or maybe consider replacing the switch with one that is easier to find parts for, but my 2012 210 is the same kind of generic safety switch my last 2 boats used.

If the new one doesn't get here in time for your next outing then you can always temporarily bypass it by removing the switch from the equation and connecting the wires. Or maybe even duct tape to hold the button in but not sure it would be strong enough.

Why not just bypass the switch to begin with. Who uses the thing anyways? My old boat didn't even have one.

That is a very good point. I'm going to assume it's a law that one has to be installed, but realistically, the percentage of boaters who connect the lanyard to themselves has to be extremely low.

Might be a law for manufacturers but can't be a law for boaters. How many people do you see with cheap crappy outboards. Do u think they have a kill switch installed!? My 1998 sea ray didn't even have one.
