    neutral safety switch

    I am putting a pair of 300xs engines on a new boat. The boat has Gaffrig twin stick controls (look like livorsi but are gaffrig). I see a neutral safety switch on each of the transmission shifters. It appears to have three places to connect wires. I was thinking there should only be two, one for each of the yellow w red stripe wires. What am I missing here?

    They use generic micro switches. Put it in neutral and the two that have continuity are the ones you want to use.

    We all agree, in that case, bypass the safety switch with a hidden pus button switch
