Review on Mercury Outboard Motor Control Box Ignition Switch 87-17009A2, 3 Position, 6-Wire – Compatible with Sierra MP41070-2 by Randy Butler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works, but tedious.

I received it quickly which I was pleased with. The switch worked as intended but was apparently generic. Next time I'll buy the original with the correct fittings and cable lengths. After I installed the cable connectors, a little extra space made assembly very difficult. I had to install a switch so now the key is reversed to allow the wires to match. (I cut the length of the wires to the original length) Not critical, but not in the way I would prefer. Also, the switch housing was too long so I had to modify it to fit the case. A cheap plastic nut cracked when tightened.

Pros
  • NOTE: Supplied by Amazon and sold by "Marine Parts Manufacturer"
Cons
  • poorly thought out
