20 SAFETY INFORMATION
Do NOT operate your boat
without performing the
following checklists:
Each Boating Day
CO Detector
It is strongly recommended that you
have CO detectors installed in boats
with canvas enclosures. Monitors are
available from your dealer. Monitors
should be professionally installed and
calibrated.
NOTE: A CO detector is not a gas fuel
vapor detector. Gas fuel vapor detec-
tors do not monitor the buildup of CO
in an enclosed area.
Lanyard Stop Switch
This safety device automatically stops
the engine if the lanyard is attached to
the operator and the operator falls
from the control station.
The DESS post incorporates a shutoff
switch, lanyard cap, lanyard, and lan-
yard clip. The lanyard clip must be se-
curely attached to the operator's PFD,
clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attach
the lanyard clip to a place where it is
free of obstructions and to something
that will move with the operator if he
or she leaves the helm station. If the
engine shuts down because the lan-
yard cap was removed, the cap must
be reinstalled on the DESS post before
the engine can be restarted.

WARNING
Always use the safety lanyard
when operating your boat. Keep
lanyard stop switch free from ob-
structions that could interfere with
its operation. Do not modify or re-
move lanyard stop switch or by-
pass its safety features. The prop-
er use of the lanyard stop switch
can prevent a runaway boat situa-
tion which otherwise could cause
severe personal injury or death.
