Can Anyone Tell Me How To Go About Installing A Kill Switch For A 1976-77mercury 500 With Thunderbolt Ignition. I Would Feel Much Safer Having This. Where Can I Get A Kit ?

Re: kill switch

One wire goes to the black/yellow terminal on the switch box( early engines were orange and the other to ground. Kits are available at most auto parts or marine suppliers.
