My merc has no spask so I am trying to diagnose the problem, I checked continuity accross the kill switch (black/yellow wires) and there is no continuity when switch is in the upright (on) position, then if I pull the switch down to simulate a person falling out of the boat then I have continuity I assume this switch is working the way it should?

Sure sounds right to me.<br />The circuit is open to run the motor.<br />THe switch closes (continuity) to connect the wires to ground out the ignition.
