If I kept my boat at a marina and/or just purchased the boat locally,
I'd change the ignition switch promptly, even if it was working
properly.
The ignition switch on a boat is just to turn it off when you stop. It
certainly isn't stopping a thief, even a joy rider.
Most 2 strokes will start if you unplug the cable to the controller
and jump out the solenoid. (or pull the rope)
Exactly. The best security for most boats is to use a plastic coated
steel security cable from a cleat on the boat to somewhere on the dock
that it is not easily removed or cut. Disk type stainless steel
padlocks offer good protection against bolt cutters.
What about a manual fuel cutoff in a place that only you know about?
