Push button start

[BY U BOY]

If you need me to I can draw up a diagram for you.

That would be good.I'm sure I could figure it out. I think I am going to go with the toggle.Now I just need to find a nice starter button.

Are you guys doing anything to lock people out, like a perko with a key in it, or can anybody at any time just come and flip the switch and push the button?

The other thing that I have seen (kinda expensive) is Livorsi has a "Gauge" that has a keypad that you enter a code in to start the boat. I believe it's like 3" round. I was talking to the guy from Livorsi about them and he said it was like $350 for one of them, one for each engine. I like it though because it's a little more "vandal resistant" then just a standard toggle and button.

In3 years I have never taken the key out of the ignition.I guess I am a trusting person.

I always was until I came back from the bar one night to find my boat docked backwards (stern to bow) and I didn't leave it that way. I found out some drunk guy had needed to get his boat out so he got in mine and drove it around through the rocks while his buddy moved his boat. It took me a LONG time to find the keys. I thought he stole them at first. Luckily there was no damage to my boat. Long story short, I only leave the keys in the boat at certain places now

You should get the huge buttons from Staples that say "that was easy"

These are some cool buttons that I had seen in the past.

I believe Laveycraft does it on all of their boats. The one I used had a toggle for the ignition, then a button for the starter. I am going to convert my Fountain this winter amongst many other things.

Heres what Lavey just installed in my boat.

I still have a perko with a lock.

Just be aware that the BUI/BWI laws are written JUST like the automobile laws. If the KEY is IN the INGITION, this can qualify as a BUI/BWI.

I've seen it written up here in Virginia due to such.

I don't know all the ins and outs of the law(s), as in what if no one is in the driver's seat, or if you are beached vs. at anchor vs. drifting, or challenging the law based on push-button start.

But I do know that I like being able to pull my key(s) out of the ignition when needed.

Push button for start of each engine, Toggle switch for both ignitions.

works good, very simple, looks great.. turn key, flip toggle, push for activation..no issue's to date, it is great cause there a are a few steps in starting it where someone if not knowing what to do just pushes buttons, motor won't start..excellent safety feature. Jeff

Got it on my 24 Cig.

Pushbutton Ignition

It can also be set-up with just pushbuttons. No key(s). Very simple.

The new Maximas and Altimas have them. I didn't like them at first but they grow on you.
By the way the Maxima is a BADASS sedan for the money!

Hidden battery switches over here...

If I'm not around the boat the battery switches are turned off... I also view it as a safety and battery power concern to have them turned off whenever not in use. Bildge pumps are run off seperate power so no reason to keep the switches on.. Even on my "keyed" boats the switches were turned off if I wasn't around... IMHO boats are easy to steal, key or no key.
