Replace ignition switch

[MBPerini]

Anyone know how to replace a keyed ignition switch and where I might purchase one for my Catalina 310. Key will not turn. Tried graphite and other fixes. I think the tumbler is misaligned. Thanks

I installed one of these a few years back as I wanted to activate my fuel level gauge without activating the audible alarms when fuelling up. Clockwise is ignition position and counterclockwise is fuel level gauge only.

You'll likely find your dimension to replace the original in here.

I installed this ignition from Sea Dog

about 3 months ago. Very simple installation.

My key was not making all the contacts inside the ignition.

Cheers,
Jim

You could just as well replace it with a simple toggle switch. If you leave your boat with the 1-2-B switch off, no one's gonna steal it.
