    No Kill Switch OMC 1994

    Do you have a pic of the key switch. Some of them have a horseshoe tab that fits over the key entry to keep it pushed half way in. Horseshoe acts as a kill lanyard.

    The yellowfin had a mod like this to pressure release the tab area when getting on plane. Had a problem trapping water in the tab compartment slowing take off speed. This vent fixed it. Not sure if Grady did this also.

    Live Well Support Arm

    I was on my buddy’s 2020 306 canyon yesterday and he had friction hinges on his livewell. No need for a support at all. I am getting them For my livewell hatch to get rid of the spring. They were quite impressive.

    Trailer work

    I usually spray my new springs with instant galvanized before I install them to help them last longer. I also use my fresh water wash down to rinse my springs after I pull my boat out of salt water. It helps. South Florida is rough on trailers.
