For whatever reason, I have to replace my ignition (the key part) in my boat. Is it safe to assume they used a simple three wire setup like the ones available from west marine (bottom one here): http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... Num=50557#

It'll be a 4 position (Accessories - off - run - start).

Anyone else have the ignition/key switch come loose and rotate? Mine's done it a few times.

Ahh, thanks Dave, I did not realize that. I may just put the acc on the run pole in that case. I have the radio on the acc switch now.

AJ, there is a nut on the back of the switch which you should be able to tighten.

Yes- mine was loose and rotating within a couple of hours. I tightened it by hand on the water and it's been ok since.

Additionally, my wedge down indicator was lit while the wedge was up. I had to bend the tab on the transom switch slightly and it's been fine since as well.
