Re: kill switch mod

To remove the boat harness for a kill switch you would have to ground and another to the salmon wire to the switch box in the kill switch in the circuit. You also need to remove the 2 yellow wires from the rectifier and tape them off

Actually, I don't think there is a salmon wire in the mercury harness. Black with yellow trace is the magneto ground (kill if grounded) and tan is the temp gauge sender wire.

hope it helps
