I'll admit it. I've ignored this 10 year old recall notice. But my starter switch on my 200 HP Evinrude Vindicator does stick. For instance, when I turn the key nothing happens. I have to put it in reverse, then forward again, and all works fine.

I believe in "if it ain't broke," so I haven't monkeyed with it, and the local shops are about all gone anyway. So I just keep using the reverse trick and I've never had a problem.

But, I do wonder if my "reverse" routine will one day no longer work.

So, Question: Can I lube that thing myself somehow? The recall notice inferred that was all that is needed.

Ideas?

sounds like neutral safety switch.

That's the way it sounds to me too. Moving the control lever moves the neutral switch, not the ignition switch.
