Hi Edd,
On a previous boat I used the industrial AB momentary pushbutton
switches. Red for glow plugs & green for starter (go!). They had a
waterproof cover over the pushbutton.

My current panel has a single toggle switch. Bottom position is OFF,
centre position is ON and the top position is for the STARTER with a
spring return to centre. It has a waterproof boot too. This switch
came from a refrigerated highway trailer start panel.
The boot is in the second or third row. Note the price of the "marine" boot :0

All,
I was very interested reading about going keyless for your engine's
ignition. Certainly makes sense - It's getting the battery switch on
that is the real hurdle for stealing a boat. It's very easy to get
to the back of an engine panel and just connect the wires.
Plus when your boat is as graphics-heavy as the Enterprise, I doubt
anyone could steal her and get very far without being found.
And I've also had my share (and fill) of bent keys and crud getting
into the key slot.
For those who have done it, what did you use as a replacement toggle
or push-button switch? I'm thinking something lighted, low-profile
and water-resistant.
All the best,
Edd
