Member Personal Page Posts: 310 Comments: 2 Joined: 02/22/07	I searched. No luck. Does anyone know how to retrofit a kill switch on an '86 OMC ignition (push to prime)? I'm guessing I need to put it in-line, but which wire? Is there a preferred switch/part number? Thanks. Cape Dory 28 Hobie 20 Miracle A Class Catamaran
