I would like to install the Stern tournament start button on my Fish Tales reel to replace the tiny cast button that is on there now. If anyone has done this I would appreciate some help.
There is a diode on the existing switch, Im wondering if that needs to be transferred over to the new switch. Thanks.

Can anyone help with the wiring/diode info.

Quoted from Sinistarrett:

Can anyone help with the wiring/diode info.

Just like every other switch in your game. And check the switch matrix in your manual.

White wire to black end of diode to NC ( normally closed ) Green wire to NO ( normally open ) silver band end of diode to C ( common )
