Long push from OFF, ACC, or ON will engage the starter. To re-engage the starter, you have to drop back to OFF or ACC first.

Since there is no "engine running" signal, the control module assumes that the engine is running if the starter has been engaged (even just momentarily). This prevents you from engaging the starter again unless it is cycled to OFF or ACC.

The video isn't a complete demonstration. I made that last summer just to show a friend which is why I didn't actually start the boat and go through all of the sequences. I'll make a more complete video once I de-winterize .

I see in your video example that a long push from Run (w/engine off), engages the starter; I was just wondering if you can go straight to starter engage from Off or Accy?

Then I was thinking that programming this to go to full off from Run (w/engine running) with a long push, would need a signal that it's running. Otherwise a long push from Run would engage the starter, again. Am I seeing this correctly?

Thanks

I have the long-push to OFF change working and tested.

So, now while the engine is running, a single momentary push will kill the engine and put you in accessory, or a long push greater than 2 sec. will kill the engine and go directly to OFF.

Ah... very cool!
Nice damage prevention feature. Thanks for the explanation.

Awesome! Thank you. Ordered silver/green.

I saw the $15 shipping and wondered how you ship these?

[blakekrone]

Ordered mine as well, is there any sort of order status or ability to check shipping? Not that it's a big deal as I don't have the boat home with me but just wondering.

Thanks!

Cool, Thanks!

You should get a notification when it is shipped but you can always email me for a status.

[tr6coug]

Thanks to everyone who has ordered.

The first orders are going out Tuesday via priority mail, so you should start seeing them arrive soon.

After some careful consideration, I decided to make a few changes to the function of the push-button starter. These changes are intended to make starting the boat a more deliberate act and also to improve security.

So, you will only be able to start the boat when the ignition is ON, not from OFF or ACC.

Also, instead of a toggle cut-off switch, you will need to use the original key-switch as the cut-off switch.

These are minor changes, but I just wanted everyone to be aware of the changes since it is slightly different than I quoted before.

Not sure I would be in favor of that change as I would be placing the push-button-starter in the original key location. I suppose I could then relocate the original key switch.
