Yep that's the plan...after the ballast upgrade the prop is right behind it.Quote:

ok, good to hear its next in line as i think you will be disapointed in the performance when running heavy with the standard prop, i know your boats drivetrain will thank you too.
threadjack over for now, back to the pushbutton start
Just a thought on the ones with Newer Supras, and Now Moomba's
Supra has had this for the last few years, and im not positive if it started with 12 but i know its in the 13 Mojo and thats 1 second start.
What i mean is, you dont actaully turn and hold the key anymore to start the boat.
You just turn it to start it and instantly let go. The boat will then crank and start its self.
This is very simular to push start so you may or may not need all the parts in the kit.
I first noticed this option on Brad Webb boat, then on the SA and also on the 13 Mojo. I find it very cool but then again i dont see the need for a push start button. I think its just another component in the starting chain to fail
hummmm, went to order this last night and it is gone from their website, not trace of it???
Looks like he's stopped fulfilling orders until he can change some functionality. Here's another option I looked at a while back, but never got around to installing. Gives you some security (either from theft, or from accidental starts) with the code.
If you have to punch in the code every time it would drive me nuts. I probably restart 12-20 times a day.
It works just like the Malibu system, you enter the code to "unlock" the ignition, and then you can go back and forth between ignition on and run as often as you want with one button.
Thanks, Jason. Good to hear.
We used that system on the boats at a ski school I worked at where you're constantly starting and stopping the engine. It worked pretty well.
So my ignition switch failed on my last weekend and instead of putting in another key switch, decided to try out push button start. Here is what it looks like, haven't used it heavily yet so not sure how long it will last, but giving it a shot. Longest part of the job was waiting for the parts to come in. I decided not to worry about the theft part of it, as many said, takes but a few min to defeat the key switch, and I store my boat in my garage anyway.

Your going love it after switching mine over last year I will never go backwards. Even if I get a new boat I will do this asap.
I like how it looks! Let us know how durable it is.
Where did you pick this up or what brand is it? I love the idea of it.

Found both the engine labeled switch and the push button start on that big internet auction site, think it was less that $30 for both shipped. If you do it let me know and will send you the wire diagram I used, the one that came with the button was really bad.
What switch did you go with if you don't mind me asking where you found it?Quote:

Thank you for the info. I was having a hard time finding that switch.

Thanks Mark!
This is on my to-do list.........
(fine print - my to-do list is long and may take me a few years to get to everything :))
That looks great Mark!

Thanks guys, the only thing I might add is a secondary hidden lockout switch.
Mark - nice man. Very clean.
This I can relate to all to well...Quote:

Nice clean install.
This is great stuff. Would someone like to put all the best stuff in a new How To thread for posterity. Post up a step by step how to with all the info and I'll sticky it. Ice cold tall boy for whoever does it!
That looks killer for sure. My race boat uses the same premise to fire it up, except in an open, non capsule boat my on/off switch is my kill switch which is attached to my racing jacket. I can reach for it easily in an emergency or it come off with me when I am tossed (both ways I have tested). In the capsule boat which I am strapped in a safety cell my on/off switch is a toggle switch with a large cover that makes it easy to shut off in an emergency. So in short you can use an ordinary two position toggle switch and a momentary start button, both of which are available at you local auto parts store. Definitely not as cool looking as the install that was posted, but an option.

This was a pic where I had to shut the boat off in a hurry, I was glad the toggle switch was easy to find and hit. Might be something to keep in mind when installing this set up in our boats.

That's a hot lookin' boat!
There's one in every crowd... :rolleyes:Quote:

My push button switch had a confusing wire diagram and color scheme as it had 2 wires the same color and it said to hook 3 different wires up to the ignition. So in case anyone else ends up with a Pivot switch from the internet auction site, here is what my diagram looks like
