Kill Switch issue - BF250 - has Honda redesigned the part?

So, I have a 2013 BF 250 XXA.

It has the funky clip, not like almost all other outboards. Like a three-legged end that depresses a small springloaded button on the end of the switch.

#3 - you'll have to magnify to see it.

So, it sucks. Keeps working itself loose under certain wave/chop conditions (virbrations I guess). I replaced the cord with a new one and it is still doing the same thing. I have to assume that the Switch Assembly piece must be worn (plastic) after 6 years and even a new cord isn't going to solve my problem.

So, I went online to find a replacement Switch Assembly - looks like they no longer work the same way. Now they are more like the Yamaha and others with a much simpler, tighter clip.

Can I simply swap out the old one for the new one above? I assume the wires just plug into the harness like the old one.
 
That is not a new style, that is for a side mount remote control, not a panel mount ignition switch. The hole size will be different and it comes with bullet connectors, not a plug, but having said that, with a bit of messing around you could use it.

So why can't I find the panel mount ignition switch anywhere? For a true swap out?

I have a 2013 BF250 XXA, serial number BBJJ100176x (x used to hide my full serial number)
