Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) check
Make sure that the engine shut-off cord (lan-
yard) is not damaged. If the cord is damaged,
replace it. WARNING! Never try to repair
the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) or tie it
together. The engine shut-off cord (lan-
yard) may not pull free when the operator
falls off, allowing the boat to continue to
run and cause an accident.
Post-launch checks
Perform the post-launch checks in the pre-op-
eration checklist while the boat is in the water
and the engines are running.

remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch to make sure that the engines stop
immediately.
