Accidental ejections can also occur from:
•
Poor operating practices
• Sitting on the seat or gunwale at planing speeds
• Standing at planing speeds
• Operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle‑infested waters
• Releasing your grip on the steering wheel
• Carelessness caused by consuming alcohol or drugs
• High‑speed boating maneuvers
The lanyard is a cord usually between 122 and 152 cm (4 and 5 ft) long when stretched out, with an element on one end made
to be inserted into the switch, and a snap on the other end for attaching to the operator. The lanyard is coiled to make its at‑rest
condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out length is
made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the operator choose to move around in an area close to the
operator's normal position. The operator can shorten the lanyard by wrapping the lanyard around his wrist, or by tying a knot in
the lanyard.
Activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, but the boat will continue to coast for some distance,
depending upon its velocity. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as it would under power.
Instruct all passengers on the proper starting and operating procedures should they be required to operate the boat in an
emergency.
!
WARNING
If the operator falls out of the boat, stop the engine immediately to reduce the possibility of serious injury or death from being
struck by the boat. Always properly connect the operator to the stop switch using a lanyard.
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 could be thrown forward due to 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 deceleration forces resulting from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat
operator should never leave the operator's station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.
Keep the Lanyard Stop Switch and Lanyard Cord in Good Operating Condition
Before each use, ensure that the lanyard stop switch works properly. Start the engine, and then stop it by pulling the lanyard
cord. If the engine does not stop, have the switch repaired before operating the boat.
Before each use, inspect the lanyard cord to ensure that it is in good working condition and that there are no breaks, cuts, or
wear to the cord. Check that the clips on the ends of the cord are in good condition. Replace any damaged or worn lanyard
cords.

Engine Electrical System Overload Protection
Fuses
!
CAUTION
Failure to protect wiring with an appropriate fuse can damage the wiring and start a fire. When installing any accessories, we
recommend using a Mercury accessory kit. Always use the appropriate fuse to protect wiring.
Individual circuits are protected by fuses. If an electrical overload occurs, a fuse will burn out. Find and correct the cause for the
electrical overload before replacing the fuse.
