Kill Switch Key

[LoveCruiseing]

I have a 1990 Maxum 2555. It has the 5.7L merc. When I purchased the boat it only had the one kill switch key. I want to have a spare, but have searched all the sites I am aware of on the internet and cannot find one that will fit. I bought some by attwood, a multi pack, but the one in the pack like mine was smaller and would not fit the kill switch. Anyone out there have any suggestions? I have thought about buying a new kill switch and hope the keys on the market will fit. Any help would be appreciated.

lots of lanyard kits out there, more of a dead man switch.

if you read your maual not a good idea to kill your engine with the drive engaged.

most guys don't use them, when your movin under 26 mph.

lot of kits for them, or just call your local bayliner dealer.

pascavone, thanks for the reply. I don't plan on killing my engine with the switch. However, I have to have to key on the kill switch in order to crank the engine and keep it running. Since is is made of plastic, I felt it would be a good idea to have a spare or two.

should not need a key to keep it running, you pull the lanyard and it pull the switch down and kills the engine when your body goes ass over tall over the side.
