ok, my boat has a push button start.....and a knob that goes up and down next to it. I'm guessing that the up and down knob is like a starter protection deal like a kill switch.....I know this seems pretty basic, but where exactly do these wires hook up at?

Ben: give me a call and I'll shed some light on that set-up. I didn't wire that but it's really standard stuff

i would think it would be wired in series (bat -safety switch-start button-starter ) just so you cant bump the starter without flipping the safety first

It could be a dead spark switch for firing a well advanced ignition without firing back on the starter. Once the motor is turning, give it fire.....Just a maybe........Ray
