Jeff, SW-1 is the lanyard switch that he is adding. It kills the motor before the boat circles around and runs over him if he gets pitched overboard. SW-2 is the stock kill button that came on the motor, the one that you push to stop the motor without falling overboard.
Not knowing the exact circuit inside the sealed powerpack, I would guess the kill buttons ground out the capacitor (the "C" in "CD" ignition).
beerman, yes the switches work independently. Either one will stop the motor. And of course the lanyard has to be clipped onto SW-1 for it to run. Yank it off, and motor stops.
