Any ideas on a better way to wire it up? I found this but think its kind of a lot of trouble when a regular switch will do the same. Its a magnetic trigger switch.

Yes, if you flip the switch, the engine should die! I think the deal you linked to is way overkill for such a simple task. All your trying to do is interupt the circuit with a switch that only you know the location to. This is one of those times for the KISS principal! My point 02...
