Product: Marine Ignition Switch, Off Run Start, 15 Amp at 12v DC What problem this addresses and why it can be urgent Ignition switches exposed to marine environments can corrode, leak, or suffer wiring failures. When a switch fails the engine may not start or may cut out unexpectedly. On the water this can leave a vessel stranded or unable to operate equipment. Urgency: a worn, corroded, or intermittently working ignition switch as soon as possible to restore reliable starting and control. If possible, include clear photos of the existing switch, mounting location, and wire colors to confirm fit and wiring compatibility before . Key features and technical details Function: Off Run Start for standard ignition control. Electrical rating: 15 Amp at 12v DC, suitable for typical ignition circuits. Material: Marine grade glass filled construction for improved durability in wet environments. Wiring: Wire colors match factory color codes to simplify direct replacement and reduce installation errors. Design: Leakproof housing to minimize water intrusion and reduce the risk of electrical faults. Corrosion resistance: Rustproof components for longterm reliability in salt and fresh water environments. Fit: Flexible and adjustable mounting options to accommodate different dash and console openings for retrofit or conversion projects. Benefits and why customers need this product Direct replacement compatibility: Matching factory wire color codes speeds installation and reduces risk of incorrect connections. Waterresistant and durable: Leakproof housing and rustproof materials reduce the need for frequent replacements in marine conditions. Stable electrical performance: Rated for 15 Amp at 12v DC to handle typical ignition loads reliably. Easier retrofit: Flexible, adjustable fit helps when converting panels or adapting to different mounting layouts, lowering installation time and potential modification costs. Reduced downtime: Replacing a failing switch promptly restores dependable starting and control. Practical applications and use scenarios Routine replacement on a small to medium recreational boat console where the original switch shows corrosion, hard turning, or intermittent starting. Upgrading or converting a console during a restoration or refit where the mounting hole or wiring layout differs from the original equipment. Emergency replacement before a boating trip when the existing switch is unreliable; send photos of the current switch and wiring to verify compatibility quickly. Installation notes and compatibility tips Confirm that your system uses a 12v DC ignition circuit and that the ignition load does not exceed 15 Amp. Use the wire color matches to factory codes to connect directly and reduce wiring errors. If in doubt, compare the switch wiring colors to the vessel wiring diagram or provide photos for verification. Check mounting hole size and panel depth prior to installation. The switch is designed to be flexible and adjustable, which helps with varied dash configurations, but verifying dimensions ensures the fit. What to check before replacing Visual condition: look for corrosion, water intrusion, bent or broken terminals, and hard or intermittent key action. Wiring: verify color coding and that wire insulation is intact. If wiring is frayed or damaged, or wiring to prevent future issues. Electrical load: confirm ignition circuit current is within the 15 Amp rating. If possible, include photos of the existing switch, the wiring harness with colorcoded wires, and the dash mounting area. Photos help confirm fit, compatibility, and proper wiring before installation.
