Emergency Stop Switch and
Lanyard
Your Correct Craft boat is equipped with an emergency stop switch
and lanyard. Correct Craft strongly recommends that the lanyard
be secured to the operator and the lock plate attached to the
emergency stop switch prior to starting the engine and anytime the
engine is operating.
The lanyard is designed to turn off the engine whenever the
operator moves far enough away from the helm to activate the
switch. It is strongly recommended that the lanyard be used by the
operator.
There are practical limitations to what the emergency stop switch
and lanyard can do. It can take several seconds for the engine and
propeller to stop turning. The boat can continue to coast for
several hundred feet depending on the velocity at the time the
switch was activated, and the degree of any turn. While the boat is
coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in its path as seriously as if
the boat operated under power.
Boating Safety
Sport
• DO NOT operate the boat if the Emergency Stop
Switch system does not function properly.
• Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard to a secure
place on your clothing, your arm or leg while
operating.
• DO NOT attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear
loose. DO NOT route the lanyard where it could
become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
• Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal
operation. Loss of engine power means loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat
could slow rapidly. This could cause people and
objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
