You only use one pair. The Seadog switch is universal.

Re: kill switch wiring...need help

so I am assuming that one wire labled m goes to the raise m post on the ignition switch and one wire labled c goes to the post labled i. Would that be correct

Two pairs, M or C. Use both M or Both C. One is normally open and one is normally closed. Typical CD ignition systems use normally open wired to the two M posts on the ignition switch. http://www.maxrules.com/graphics/omc_pics/REMCONTBOX.jpg

We have no idea what engine you have so we cannot tell you which pair to use. "M" = magneto system (as in two stroke stator type ignition). C = coil system as in I/O automobile engine type sytem. A magneto system shorts the ignition to ground to kill the engine so you use the two "M" terminals. In a coil system, +12 volts is fed to the coil and the switch opens to kill the engine. You use the "C" terminals in that configuration. So one terminal of the switch on a two stroke) gets connected to the M terminal on the ignitiion switch. The other wire gets connected to the neutral safety switch or to ground.

The "C" on the switch is for CHOKE, not coil

I'm sure he was speaking of the Cs on the sea-dog universal emergency kill switch, not the ignition switch.
