Engine Stop Lanyard Switch

The lock-plate 1 must be attached to the engine stop lanyard switch for the engine to run. The lanyard 2 should be attached to a secure place on the operator’s cloth- ing, 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.

8Attach the lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, your arm or leg while operating.

8Do 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.

8Avoid 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.
