Anyone have any idea what the little black rubber button is called under the ignition and what it's for?? :? I'm sure it's covered in the owners manual but I seem to have misplaced it...

Sorry, just kidding. It's an old joke.

OK, seriously. It fires the admiral's ejection seat. It's there for when she complains about how fast you're going. Don't be too quick to use it, though. Re-packing the 'chute and re-arming the seat are both expensive.

Maybe we just shouldn't tell Law950 and let it become one of those mystical wonders of the world.

"The little black button" - what's that?

Better would have been saying... ."What are you talking about... my boat doesn't have that" :twisted:

Keep pressing until something happens :lol:

The button looks awfully similar to my horn button.

The FW manual says it's a primer bulb that shoots Blinker Fluid into the Muffler Bearings, making the boat easier to start. :roll:

It's a circuit breaker for the ignition.
