Shifter switch broken

[jackball42]

Hello, I have a 1977 Starcraft Supersport 18' with a Mercruiser 140 I/O. I am in the process of redoing the boat and found the neutral safety switch on the shifter assembly broken. At least I assume its the neutral safety switch. Anybody know where I can get another switch?

That is just a very standard micro switch. Take it out and take it to any electronics shop, they should be able to find you a match fairly quickly (and a whole heap cheaper than a dealer). You and looking for a "Normally CLOSED" switch.

Is this the neutral safety or shift interrupter switch?

Ok, the V3-1-D8 microswitch is obsolte but it crosses over to a Cherry D45C-R1AA switch. Got one coming from Mouser Electronics for $2.90 plus shipping.
