SOLD Plug and Play Push Button Start/Stop Kits

[Stevenpigsooie]

I still want one. Think you’ll make more?

 

[Mainah]

Most certainly making more. No need to pm me. I have a couple of people on a waiting list and I will reach out to those folks directly before putting up a new classified add. We will have kits ready to ship for all twin engine fuel injected models in the coming weeks.

Hope my funky SX helped you guys expand your coverage!

@swatski Breaking the rules with that step bit huh?

Well - if you mean that I deviated from the @Mainah protocol/instructions, then - yes, I did, a little bit... But! that's because I chose a somewhat unconventional location.

Now, I would really consider that location - for future modders - my wife has actually bought into the theory the @Mainah Push Button is there for safety. And to be completely honest, I'm kind of starting to think that, too.

Wait a second... you see what I'm doing here... - I started by making a white lie to justify my purchase and now I'm starting to believe my own crap...
Do I need help?
(please don't answer)

I really like the location. If something happens someone else can quickly kill it.

 

[Mainah]

I had never reall considered this a safety mod and more a convience and annoyance stopping mod. I like the location. Even omaying out worst case of a 5 year old pressing the red buttonwhile at wot the worst that happens is the boat slows down a bit abruptly. Playing out a scenario where the deiver has become unable to operate the controls this is great as long as everyone know what it is.

@swatski had luck with a step drill bit on those buttons. That said I still discourage it because there is very little lip on those buttons. I am not saying someone can’t be successful with a step bit it is just much harder not to drill the hole too big.

I also learned that if someone can mess it up they will and did because directions were not followed so please do follow the directions which I have made bold in key places now.

The step drill worked well for me - only because of the location - in that ignition switch cover (soft-er plastic). I would not use it on gelcoated fiberglass!

If anyone uses that location, go real slow, too, so the button switches fit very tight, I basically hand-threaded those in.

That location is great according to my wife who knows (lol). It's just that the positioning of the buttons needs to be very exact in the cover - to make the switches fit - as the cutouts in Yamaha dashboard (very thick!) are sloppy.

I wonder if something that is installed with a nut from the back side (that's what she said?) would be better in the long-term for this product? Something like this: http://www.newark.com/e-switch/pv1s640nn/anti-vadal-pushbutton-switch-spst/dp/24R3488?mckv=ssK9m9fsh_dc|pcrid|81515568501|plid||kword||match||slid||product|24R3488|&gross_price=true&CATCI=pla-148795896741&CAAGID=20376569421&CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-SHOPPING-24R3488&CAGPSPN=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6YK7qqPi2gIVl1qGCh3bxwyREAQYASABEgKriPD_BwE&CAWELAID=120185550001404255

The buttons in the kit have a nut. You insert the buttons through the hole you've drilled, then screw on the nut from the under side, then connect the harness.

The button have both a nut and an o ring seal. Oring goes between the lip of the button and the mounting surface and the nut goes behind the mounting surface. No need to over tighten with the o ring. A quarter turn past finger tight should do similar to a spark plug.

 

[adrianp89]

Ah, I think I just misinterpreted it, I thought they were press in.

I finished my install today.
In a word - this thing is phenomenal.

I decided to mount mine in a position to make the RED "stop" button most accessible to anyone in the boat - to function as a " backup" of sorts for the safety lanyard.

(This was in line with my initial "safety mod" prevarication I told my wife - telling her this is a safety mod - to justify the purchase; well, turns out, it actually is!)

As I was finishing the install, I'm totally happy, and the wife LOVES the idea she can hit the RED button so easily accessible to stop both engines in an instant.

Here is the finished product, needless to say it works wonderfully - the RED stop button is accessible from anywhere mid-ship:

And here are some install notes:
I pulled the ignition switches plate and the cup holder there - for better access

Tested everything before final install:

I used step drill bit - works awesome

Thank you, @Mainah & Son!

What a great mod.

Interested in one for a 2011 240.

@Mainah got mine today, thank you. Cant wait to install. Hoping i am up to it tomorrow, been sick all week.

 

[Weeb]

Mine might have saved me some headaches today. I saw a good size stick last second so I hit the off button and coasted over it threw it nuetral and hit the start button and kept going. Nothing was sucked in.

Never thought of that. It pleases me to hear that folks are finding it useful in different ways.
