### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for Tracker Pro 160 Bass Boat
*by M***N on August 30, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works very well and easy to use
*by M***S on December 23, 2025*

very universal and easy to wire up

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect OEM replacement.
*by F***N on December 25, 2022*

Purchased this for a 2005 Mercury Salt Water series 150hp and this replaced the OEM switch perfectly. Wires are all the same, dimensions are really close but the diameter of this switch is slightly larger. I had to modify my bracket a smidge to get it to fit but it was really easy to do and didn't take much effort. After installing, cranked right up and the automatic electric choke worked as well. And it was half the price of the actually mercury OEM part, so that was nice to save a few bucks, because as we all know, boats are just a hole in the water that you dump money into.
