ENGINE SHUT-OFF SWITCH
•
Always attach the engine shut-
off cord to your personal flota-
tion device (PFD) or arm or leg,
BEFORE starting the engines.
Failure to attach the cord could
result in a runaway boat if the
operator is ejected.
•
Do not attach the cord to cloth-
ing that could tear loose. Do not
route the cord in such a way that it
could become entangled, prevent-
ing it from functioning.
•
Avoid accidentally pulling the
cord during normal operation.
Once the engines have stopped
you have no steering control of
the boat which could result in
an accident. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapid-
ly from planing speed. This could
cause people and objects in the
boat to be thrown forward, which
could cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shut-
off cord must be attached to the engine
shut-off switch for the engines to run.
The cord must be attached to a secure
place on the operator’s personal flota-
tion device (PFD) or arm or leg. Should
the operator fall overboard or leave
the helm, the cord will pull out the clip,
stopping ignition to both engines. This
will prevent the boat from running away
under power.
