HELLO ALL: I HAVE 1981 F308 and it only has togel switches for both up and down helms. im interested to changing them to key ignitions. i also want to change the upper helm to a key switch with a kill switch lanyard if possible. any of you have any thought about this ?????

thanks gary ga

on my f32 i replaced my flybridge switches with keyed switches, i did mine because one was totally inoperative and corroded when i bought the boat. very simple to do. i made sure i got 2 switches keyed the same, dont really have to worry which is which and this also gave me a spare set of keys since each switch came with 2 keys. i didnt really have a burning desire to have keyed switches since i kill the boat power at the main when i leave it, but thats what i used. i guess if someone wants a boat bad enough the type of switch at the ignition wont really stop them.

THANKS G36: IT'S NOT BOAT THIEVES, I'M WORRIED ABOUT ITS THE WONDERFUL LITTLE GRANDSONS, WHO THINK AND BELIEVE THEY CAN DRIVE THE VEHILCES I OWN. BY THE WAY THEY ARE UNDER 8 YEARS OLD AND WATCH EVERYTHING I DO. I'M THINKING KEYS ARE MY ANSWER.. THANKS FOR MENTIONING GETTING THEM KEYED THE SAME, I DIDNT THINK OF THAT.

IM STILL HOPING TO PUT A KILL SWITCH ON UPPER HELM, IF ANY ONE HAS ANY IDEAS.

THANKS AGAIN GG
