Need to replace my ignition switch and having trouble sourcing the right switch. Would it be matched to the boat or to the engine / outdrive assembly?

1983 Wellcraft 200 Elite with a 5.0 Mercruiser

Thanks! Bill

should be a standard 3 wire switch available almost anywhere

if you have off, run, and start, its a 3-wire switch like BD posted
if you have off accessory, run, and start, its a 4-wire switch.

beyond that, you have your choice of plastic or brass body

It does have an accessory position to the left but I don't think anything is connected to it.

Thanks for your input.
