Fishing Sandy Hook and anywhere I can get on a boat.




My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!

I'll assume its the kill switch thats not working. As mentioned, all a kill switch does is short out the ignition.
You will need to start tracing some wires. The same color wires will terminate somewhere else, usually at the motor. Might be black with a yellow tracer
