Section 2 Boat Operation
Ignition Shutoff Switch
Your boat is equipped with one ignition shutoff switch.
The ignition shutoff switch is located on the control
console face.
The ignition shutoff switch is designed to shut off both
engines if you move away from the helm station by
accident, either by falling down or by being ejected
from the helm seat. Both of these situations can be
caused by unsafe operating techniques or severe
operating conditions. Do not use the ignition shutoff
switch to stop the engines during normal boat opera-
tion.
You should connect the ignition shutoff switch clip and
lanyard to a sturdy part of your clothing. If you move
beyond the scope of the lanyard, the ignition shutoff
switch will be activated and the engines will shut off
immediately.
!
WARNING
Do not activate the ignition shutoff switch
during normal operations when the boat is on
plane. Activating the ignition shutoff switch at
planing speeds will cause the boat to suddenly
decelerate, possibly injuring or ejecting
passengers.
