Sea-Dog Magneto Marine Ignition Switch with Choke
Sea-Dog Magneto Marine Ignition Switch with Choke — Product description
This is the Sea-Dog magneto-style ignition switch that gets an outboard cranking and running. It's a three-position key switch, off, ignition, and start, with a built-in choke push for cold mornings. The polypropylene housing shrugs off spray, and two keys come in the package so you've got a spare from day one.
If your outboard's key switch is cracked, corroded, or just plain worn out, this Sea-Dog magneto-style switch is a straightforward replacement. It runs the classic off-ignition-start sequence, and it adds a choke function right at the key, so you push to choke a cold engine instead of fumbling for a separate primer.
The body is polypropylene, so it stands up to salt spray and damp bilge air far better than a bare metal switch. On the back you get five screw terminals plus one boss terminal, which covers most magneto outboard wiring without any adapters. The shaft is the short version, so it fits thinner dash panels and tight console cutouts.
Two keys come with it, which is a small thing until you lose one at the ramp. We'd keep the spare on the boat and one on your ring. It's a common-sense fix for tiller and console boats running magneto-ignition outboards, and it wires in with basic hand tools.
