AFEISOL 5005801 is a replacement marine ignition key switch assembly with two keys and a detachable safety lanyard that restores engine start and emergency kill functionality on compatible outboard motors.

This compact replacement ignition switch from AFEISOL is designed for use with select Johnson, Evinrude and OMC outboard engines (40–200 HP).

Will this ignition switch work with my outboard motor?

The AFEISOL 5005801 is made to match common Johnson/Evinrude/OMC ignition specs across many 40–200 HP models. Before ordering, confirm your engine's part number or compare the mounting and wiring to your existing switch for a proper match.

• Compatible with Johnson, Evinrude and OMC outboards (40–200 HP)
• Direct replacement for part numbers 5005801 and 175974
• Same form factor and connector style for straightforward swap-in

How does the safety lanyard improve on-water safety?

The included detachable lanyard clips to the keyed kill switch so the engine will shut down if the operator moves away from the helm. It’s a passive safety measure that reduces runaway-boat risk without changing how you normally start or stop the engine.

• Lanyard attaches to the ignition key for immediate kill if pulled
• Extendable, user-friendly cord for comfortable reach and secure use
• Simple clip mechanism lets you remove or stow the lanyard quickly

What comes in the box and how easy is installation?

This kit ships complete with the ignition switch, two cut-to-fit keys and a safety lanyard so you can replace the unit in one service visit. The switch is designed as plug-and-play for most compatible boats — basic mechanical and electrical skills are all that’s needed.

• Includes 1 ignition switch, 2 keys and 1 safety kill lanyard
• Plug-and-play wiring for many Johnson/Evinrude installations
• Clear fitment to OEM mounting points for quick swap-out

What materials and durability features does this replacement offer?

AFEISOL builds this ignition switch from corrosion-resistant and wear-tolerant materials suited for the marine environment. That helps maintain reliable starting and kill performance over time, even with regular exposure to spray and vibration.

• Marine-grade components for long service life
• Robust key cylinder and lanyard attachment for repeated use
• Quality-checked assembly to match OEM functional expectations
