    1972 50hp OMC

    Can anyone tell me the purpose of the safety switch between the block and the starter solenoid, part number 0382548? My manual shows it but does not say anything about its purpose. It breaks continuity between ground and the solenoid, mine ohms out bad. Any info would be appreciated.
