Turn through Accessory, Off, Accessory+Ignition, and Start positions in sequence, just like a conventional automotive ignition. The key is removable only in the Off position, so there’s no risk of accidentally pulling the key mid-run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe zinc diecast housing is built for harsh environments — resistant to vibration, impact, and the kind of abuse that plastic-bodied switches don’t survive long-term. Four screw terminals provide secure, direct wiring connections for accessory, ignition, and start circuits, and the 3\/4\" (19mm) panel hole fits the most common marine ignition switch cutout size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 positions: Accessory – Off – Accessory+Ignition – Start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey removable in Off position only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo spring return, no anti-restart feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5A rating at 12V DC (Start circuit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10A rating at 12V DC (Accessory and Ignition\/Run circuits)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 screw terminals for direct wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc diecast housing — built for harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts through 3\/4\" (19mm) panel hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutboard and inboard marine engine ignition panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerboats, runabouts, and bass boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePontoon and deck boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATVs, UTVs, and powersport vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom helm console and ignition panel builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement ignition switches on older vessels and vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V DC ignition systems requiring accessory, run, and start positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 9579BP is the right switch when you need a full four-position ignition sequence with key security — ideal for primary helm ignition panels on powerboats, custom console builds, and any application where you want accessory power available independently of the ignition circuit. The key-removable-in-Off-only design is a practical safety feature for unattended vessels and shared-use boats. The zinc diecast housing makes it a better long-term choice than plastic-bodied alternatives in cockpit and engine compartment environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimpler ignition options:\u003c\/strong\u003e If your application only needs Off \/ Ignition \/ Start without an accessory position, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cole-hersee-m550bp-battery-ignition-switch-12-m550bp\"\u003eCole Hersee M550BP 3-Position Battery Ignition Switch\u003c\/a\u003e is a more compact option.
