The ignition safety switch and lanyard will stop an
engine in case of an emergency. Attach the
lanyards to the boat operator whenever the
engines are running but be aware there will be a
loss of boat control if the switches are activated. If
the operator is thrown from the seat or moves too
far from the helm, the lanyards will become
disconnected from the ignition safety switches,
shutting off the engines.

To attach a lanyard, connect the clip to the ignition
safety switch and the hook to a strong piece of
clothing on the operator, such as a belt loop.
Attach the ignition safety switches’
lanyards to the operator before starting the
engines. This will prevent the boat from
becoming a runaway if the operator is
accidentally thrown away from the helm.
