yeah that bothered me initially, so i called him, he advised he sold something else and the guy didnt show up, so left bad feedback and vice versa, the other bad comment was about a gold bracelet he bought that turned green in the sea!, bad feedback left again adn vice versa hence the low rating, mind you he only had 14 transactions, it all ties up for me, its good to be vigilant tho

Absolute piece of piss mate. Just use the stop button circuit with an aftermarket kill cord unit.

We use Yamaha ones on the race boat - they are completely sealed units and the most reliable on the market that we have seen ...............

What's with the cloak and daggers against the listing - it's not like the listing is hidden from public view.
