JURPLIX Boat Ignition Switch Kit for OMC Johnson Evinrude 40–200HP — 2 Keys & Safety Lanyard, Water-Resistant Direct-Fit

JURPLIX 5005801 ignition switch kit replaces OE# 175974 and delivers a water-resistant start/stop switch with two keys and a safety lanyard compatible with OMC Johnson and Evinrude 40–200HP outboards.

This complete ignition assembly is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for select OMC Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines rated between 40 and 200 horsepower. Built from corrosion-resistant plastics and metal components, the unit aims to restore reliable starting, secure engine shutoff via the lanyard, and plug-and-play wiring that mirrors factory layouts. The kit includes the ignition switch, two keyed locks, and a kill-switch lanyard for emergency engine cutoff.
