2014 Z9 Ignition Switch

[Kris Mason]

I’ve searched in vain for my ignition switch (2014 Z9/250 Optimax ProXS), but cannot find it. I can easily get the switch without the pigtail (wires only) but not the entire thing. Tracker will sell me one for $140 (!!!).

Ignition Switch w/Deutsch Hsg - $140.04


Can anyone help point me toward a compatible, reasonably priced switch?

TIA!

Well you have 4 choices from what I can see.
1. Buy socket pins for the current connector and crimp them on and reuse old housing. That green block on the center pops out releasing the pins from housing. This would be my choice, but I work as an engineer and have access to pins, crimping/releasing tools needed to do the job. Finding out which pins the old connector uses will be the hardest part for someone who does not have access to a library of them to compare. The manufactures info may be on the housing pointing you in at least some direction for socket pins.
2. Buy a new set of male/female connectors with pins/sockets to match and crimp/install new connectors on boat and switch or change to different type of connector totally on boat and switch.
3. Cut old connector off and splice new ignition switch on with solder, heat shrink and a dab of dielectric under heat shrink. Properly done this is a solid repair.
4. Pay 140.00 american dollars.
