replacement Chrysler ignition switch - which one?

[sicleaver]

I lost the keys to my Chrysler out board ignition switch. I beleive the model is a 1980 -model 1158 HOD. The switch is push to choke, has 6 terminals on the back and a long shaft. Is anyone able to advise if a generic OMC or sierra switch with the above push to choke and 6 terminals will do the job or do I need something more specific.

Cheers
Simon

Yeah I know, Im an idiot for losing it and an idiot for not having a spare
Thanks for your help... Have been told here in Australia that I will need to pay extra for a special switch and thought I might be being diddled.

It is not a six position switch! It is a three position switch: Off, run, start. It is six terminal, push to choke. It can be found here at iboats store and at other sites: For example See erra-- misspelled, can't post competitors

Worst comes to worst you can always rig it up to the newer universal swith and use the choke button as a kill switch. In my younger days last year....lol, I had to do this as a quick fix on a 16 ft Renken with a 90hp Chrysler. I was in the middle of a fishing tournament and no one had the part. I didn't get around fixing it until about a 2 months after and it worked well the entire time. Jst a temporary fix for about 10 dollars until you get the correct part.
