Fello86 & horton are absolutely right !!!! Use only a temporary switch that will spring back otherwise you are into real trouble if you leave it on accidently !!!!!

I installed the switch, did all the wiring with a 10 amp fuse. Man it sure works great, I hold down the button for a count of 8. And start the engine.
