    where or how did you guys install the battery/power cutoff switch on stratos boat?

    I've had my boat for 9 years now and have not installed a battery/power cuttoff switch on my boat yet but I'm planning to get one really soon. I'm not sure if the cutoff switch come with any hardware or mountings, for those of you that have a cuttoff switch, where did you guys install/mount it?

    did you use double sided tape on your cutout switch? It looks like you have some wires connected straight to the Positive on the battery and some goes into the switch...is there a reason why you did that? Sorry I'm new to this one here

    I can't speak for the OP but I got tired of looking at the wiring mess, I didn't have a cutoff switch so I fixed it all!
