Kill Switch Question

[drjay]

My dad got in a bind last week. He was fishing Cocodrie and couldn't get his boat started on his way back in. After a bunch of trouble shooting, it turns out that his switch wasn't being fulling extended by his lanyard. He finally figured out a way to shim it,but he was asking if there was a way to disable the kill switch temporarily if if couldn't be opened. My question is if you pull the housing out and tie the wires together, would that disable it?
