Fits my Mako skiff 17
Perfect fit for my Mako skiff 17/ colors and push key match original Mako/ Tracker original. Tracker switch is Taiwan made this replacement not sure but works perfect.Note: I was able to make a key copy at HD see key code on pictures BUT the HD key was a little thicker and would not fit on the switch chamber so I went to my local locksmith and he grind the HD key on the non flat side of the key and it work fine.

Easy installation and fast shipping

ALMOST and exact OEM
Well built and fairly easy to splice the wiring together. A wiring schematic would be helpful, but if you color match you should be fine. I spliced into the OEM pigtail connector without a problem. I would recommend it.

Exactly what I needed
Perfect replacement. Make sure you know if you have an A2 or A5. I ordered the wrong size the first time.

Not recommended
It worked the first couple of times, The choke does not work and it will not turn off The engine. Have to use the choke to stop the engine,.The Amazon refuses to make a good they say they’re just an online platform and you have to get to the manufacturer now.We had to go to the dealer to buy a decent switch. I added a picture of how it just came apart and less than a month it’s only hell together with black electrical tape and it sticks. Will not turn the engine off, had to choke the engine. Then the choke quit working on it so we had to manually choke it.We got about a week and a half worth out of this and I have been burned for about $40. Amazon rejected my review

Switch fit perfectly and was color coded the same as the existing switch on my 2011 bass tracker pro team 175!

Works but a hassle.
I received quickly which I was happy about. Switch worked as it’s supposed to but obviously generic. Next time I will buy original with correct fittings and wire lengths. When I put on wire connectors the slight extra need for room made very difficult to reassemble. I had to install switch so now key is upside down to get wires to fit. (I did cut the wire lengths down to orig length) Not a biggie but not how I’d prefer. Also switch body was too long so I had to modify just to get it to fit in housing. Cheap plastic nut cracked when tightened.
