[Public-List] water proof ignition switch

[Stephen Gwyn]

Hi,

I ran out of wind today so I went to turn on the motor.
Nothing happened. I rapidly determined it was the switch
so I hot wired my atomic four and motored home. But
this the third allegedly waterproof ignition switch
in 4 years. Admittedly it's a hard job. The switch
has to have a hole for the key, and it has to sit
outside in the rain.

When I bought the boat, the switch lasted 6 years.
Then it would still start, but it would only keep
the ignition running for 5 minutes before it would
spring back, turning off the engine.

Has anybody found a long lasting really waterproof
switch?

SG
