Why Replace Your Neutral Switch?
- The neutral safety switch is an important part of your outboard's starting system. It prevents accidental engine starting while the gearbox is engaged, helping protect both the operator and the starter system. A faulty switch can cause intermittent no-start conditions or prevent the engine from starting altogether. Replacing it with a genuine Tohatsu OEM switch restores reliable operation and factory safety.
