Don't get me wrong, the switch is a plus but why not eliminate the problem?

Yeah, I've been reading everyones various issues and attempted fixes for the switch....none seem to be full proof. Hobie obviously has a design flaw in this.
I guess I just figured I'd get a new O.E. switch, do all I can to salt proof it and replace it once a season if need be....seemed like the lesser of all evils.
The switch bypass sounds like the most long term hassle free way to go though. What kind of plug are you using? Something simpler than the O.E. Hobie plug I'm guessing...I can hardly get it unplugged on my workbench...I don't how I'd do it on my yak.
