NFORMATION
14 90-8M0098854 MARCH 2015
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal
operation is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the
following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants thrown forward due to the unexpected loss of
forward motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers in the
front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and
possibly struck by the propulsion or steering components.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong
current, or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from sudden deceleration forces
resulting from accidental or unintended switch activation. The
lanyard switch is designed to quickly stop the boat when
activated. Be cautious of accidental lanyard switch activation.

RUISING
It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to
avoid a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.
21604
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are
boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (even coasting) and the gear shift is in
neutral, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to
cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can
cause serious injury.

WARNING
A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached
to the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop
the engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near
your boat.
Shift into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to
swim or be in the water near your boat.
