I have a new to me boat with the same ignition system you described above. This boat starts and runs without the emergency kill lanyard installed. With the fairly new laws requiring the kill switch and for obvious safety reasons it needs to work. I have performed the same test as you mention...
I have a 07' Lowe Stinger 170. I have seen pictures of 04' and 05' Lowe Stinger's with a dual console setup. They have the same style consoles as the 07's. Lowe does not offer that setup anymore. I would like to purchase the passanger side console to make mine a dual console boat. I have been...
