    The only six horse motors I’ve ever seen with kill switches was on a pair of ’78’s I had. I don’t know why OMC put them on as I never used them and the motors were shut down by retarding the throttle all the way as was always done in the past on these models.

    interesting , the 6r74 is new to me and not run by me yet and I had noticed kill switches on other magneto models like the 9.5s so I figured I’ll add one in …

    waiting for ice to melt … 🙁

    that said.. an alternate may be to rig a kill button up front so I don’t need to go to the back of the boat to kill the motor or go neutral when I get a strike …all this if it does not affect ignition reliability
