Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock-plate on the end of the lanyard
must be attached to the engine stop
switch for the engine to run. The lanyard
should be attached to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg.
Should the operator fall overboard or
leave the helm, the lanyard will pull out
the lock plate, stopping ignition to the
engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power.

Attach the engine stop switch 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.
