1) Safety Lanyard Post
The safety lanyard must be installed
on the boat’s DESS post to allow en-
gine starting. Pull it to stop the en-
gines. Always attach the safety lan-
yard to the operator’s Personal Flota-
tion Device (or to your wrist using an
appropriate wrist-band) and snap the
cap to the DESS post.

IMPORTANT:

After stopping the engines with the
start/stop buttons while the safety lan-
yard remains on the DESS post, they
can be restarted as usual within ap-
proximately 10 minutes by pressing
again the start/stop buttons. After this
delay, it is necessary to apply a slight
pressure of the safety lanyard on the
DESS post. Two short beeps should
be heard which indicate the system is
ready again to allow engine starting.
Monitoring System
To assist you when using the boat, a
system monitors some components
of the boat and sends audible signals
through a beeper to inform you of a par-
ticular condition. The following chart
gives the coded signals related to the
safety lanyard only. For other possible
codes, refer to the TROUBLESHOOT-
ING section.
