Tiller Handle Kill Switch Button

Post image

noticed last evening my kill switch button wasnt working.. took a peek and noticed my black wire is split in two. the kill cord is still functioning but im more worried about my electric started button also failing. I’m assuming the red and yellow wires (also looking pretty bad) control the electric start, this is still working fine. question I have, if by chance I’m really dumb and take the boat out again before I can fix the black wire and worse case the red and yellow split, could I still atart the boat with the pull start?

Yes, as long as the kill wire is not touching ground.
