ENGINE STOP LANYARD SWITCH
(for Tiller control model)
The lock-plate
1
must be attached to the
engine stop lanyard switch for the engine
to run. The lanyard
2
should be attached
to a secure place on the operator’s cloth-
ing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall
overboard or leave the helm, the lanyard
will pull out the lock plate, stopping igni-
tion to the engine. This will prevent the
boat from running away under power.

Attach the lanyard to a secure place on
your clothing, your arm or leg while
operating.
8
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard in such a way that it could
become entangled, preventing it from
functioning.
8
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine power means the 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.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the
lock-plate removed.
