Activation of an E‑stop switch stops the engine, or engines, immediately, but the boat can
continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn
at shutdown. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as
seriously as the boat would when under power.
We recommend instructing other occupants on proper starting and operating procedures
should they need to operate the engine in an emergency.
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also
possible, which can cause any or all of the following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants can be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, and
passengers in the front of the boat could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck
by the propulsion or steering components.
• The operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or
high winds.
• The operator can lose control when docking.
Restarting an engine using the key switch or start button after an E‑stop shutdown without
first turning the key switch to the off position for at least 30 seconds will restart the engine
but cause fault codes to be set. Unless you are in a potentially hazardous situation, turn
the key switch off and wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the engine or engines. If
after restarting some fault codes are still being displayed, contact your Authorized
Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Repair Facility.
