190 Montauk
Section 1• Safety
R
Emergency Engine Stop Switch
Wear the lanyard at all times when operating
the boat. Use it to stop only in an emergency.
DO NOT use it to shut off the engine during
normal operation
!
WARNING
The 190 Montauk is equipped with an ignition shutdown
safety switch. The switch is located at the center of the
console. The ignition shut down safety switch
incorporates a shut-off switch, switch clip, lanyard and
lanyard clip, which is clipped to the operator when
running. If an emergency arises where the engine must
be shut down, a pull on the cord to release the clip from
the shut-off will shut down the engine. This switch is
designed to shut the engine off when the operator of the
boat leaves the control station, either accidentally by
falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard. This
would most likely occur as a result of poor operating
practices.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent inadvertant
activation. Do not let the lanyard become entangled.

other boats, etc. may create too much stress
on the tow ring, resulting in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
