How many wires are on the little button?? I think I would do away with the little button and go with a typical key switch like you said you had on the Tracker. Just extend the wires from the button to your ignition switch. Does it choke from the key switch?? If not run that up there also. That way the only reason you touch the motor is the throttle and steering.
Great looking boat by the way!!
We all will be waiting on the restoration progress pics.
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 25:15
