Ok, it appears to be personal opinion on whether or not a momentary push button (in OEM key spot) with a on/off toggle located under the drivers helm (somewhere/anywhere) materially increases the chances of a child starting the boat when he/she shouldn't.

My purpose for this mod is not one of function but more for appeal. The same as changing or stripping the graphics on the boat. I would thing it would fall into the catagory of cheap/quick mod.

Here are my questions/concerns if anyone has input/answers:

1. How would the wiring work? I know there are 3 wires OEM. I believe they are power, ground, start (to starter). I am unsure whether or not the momentary switches are two prong or three prong. Also, I'm assuming the toggle switch would be in line on the power wire? Or should it be the ground? Or both? For the toggle switch, I may consider even using the OEM key ignition, just hidden.

2. Does anyone happen to know the size of the factory ignition switches? Looks like there are several options when selecting buttons ... 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, etc.

3. Would a momentary button do start and stop?

4. My plan would be to leave the toggle in the on position throughout riding so there would be short periods where toggle is on. However, what if I forget to toggle off after stopping the boat? Is there any potential for battery drainage with the toggle switch on for hours and the boat not running? The only thing I can think of that comes on when the key is in the accessory position now is the dash (gauges and perfect pass). Am I missing more?

Also, If anyone randomly comes across a keypad type momentary button, post it up. I am having trouble finding it in a search. I think something similar to the ford door handle buttons would be more ideal than the nautique style. Not sure either would fit, though.
