tritondriver Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 on my triton the kill switch is a merc model so I bought the merc model lanyard. if you cant find it I have an extra one and will post the part number...let me know Quote
tritondriver Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 on ebay, but probably can find it other places http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/170975938297?lpid=82 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 If you have a newer mercury it's the looped adaptor. Put the red switch in the down position, put the looped adaptor above the switch and flip the switch up Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 The kill switch will depend on what brand of motor you have and the year. If you can snap a pic of what your kill switch looks like that would be helpful. Quote
daiwaguy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 If you have a newer mercury it's the looped adaptor. Put the red switch in the down position, put the looped adaptor above the switch and flip the switch upX2 my 98 Nitro uses this same one. Follow these instructions or google a picture and you will find it. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 If you have a newer mercury it's the looped adaptor. Put the red switch in the down position, put the looped adaptor above the switch and flip the switch up X3. It can take a little getting used to. Make sure the adapter is vertical, with the lanyard down, not horizontal when you place the loop over the switch. Quote
TRYTOFISH Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Academy sports sells one thats universal, about 8 bucks. It has all the different ends for all models. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 The universal ones usually have three terminals, common, normally open and normally closed. You just hook one wire to the common and the other is based on your motor. If the motor uses a voltage through the switch to run, you would use the NC, Mercs require a voltage. If they require a ground to shut them off, ie omc's/brp, you use the NO terminal The common will connect to ignition terminal on the key switch and the wire you disconnect from the key switch will connect to the NO/NC terminal of the kill switch.
