Broken Stop/Kill Button
Submitted by monstaf1sh on Sun, 2011-05-01 19:49
Hey guys,
I have bought my first little tinnie and am quite happy with it, although when I bought it it had a worn kill button as the motor is quite old.
Today while my mate was trying to turn the motor off he was having a bit of trouble and while he was messing with it he hadnt realised that the top off the button came off, he went for the button again not knowing it had fallen off and boy did he get a shock!! HAhAHA!! I bloody wet myself!!
Anyways my button is broken and have never owned an outboard before so I need some advice on where or how and how much to get it fixed?
My outboard is an old 25hp johnson any advice would be greatly appreciated to this noob.
Cheers.

Ok, don't all answer at once...
It's all good now called around to about maybe six different boat shops and got quoted a few starting from $60-$115 just for the part.
I started to ring a couple of wreckers that were recommended to me from a couple of friendly people from the boat shops and the at the first one Ace Marine I was told over the phone they had one for $15 bucks but when I got there they said they didnt have it.
I then rang Outboards W.A and he had one for $20, very happy now just a $20 job.

Atleast it all worked out for ya
Next time something happens to your outboard, try giving Chivers a ring
Everydays a good day for fishing

Or just choke it each time
Just pull the choke out and it should die within 5-10 seconds.
