• "ACC" In the "ACC" position, any accessory connections to the electrical circuits can be operated. The engine will not operate
with the key switch in the "ACC" position.
• "ON" In the "ON" position, all electrical circuits and instrumentation receive power. The engine can be started with an optional
start stop switch.
• "START" Turn the key to the start position and release to start the engine.
NOTE: The key can only be removed with the key switch in the "OFF" position.

Dual engine start-stop switch
A start‑stop switch is optional equipment. The start‑stop switch works in conjunction with the key switch. There is one start‑stop
switch for each engine. Each button on a multi‑engine start‑stop switch functions independently. The key switch must be in the
run position to start a stopped engine with the the start‑stop switch. Pressing a start‑stop switch button when an engine is running
will shut down the corresponding engine.
Emergency Stop (E‑Stop) Switch
The emergency stop (E‑stop) switch turns off the engines in an emergency situation, such as a person overboard or tangled
propeller. When activated, the E‑stop switch interrupts the power supply to the main power relay, including power to the gauges,
steering, and accessories.
Activation of the E‑stop switch stops the engines immediately. The boat will continue to coast for some distance however. This
distance depends upon boat velocity and the degree of any turn in progress at the time of shutdown. However, the boat should
not complete a full circle. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would
when under power.
We recommend instructing other occupants on proper starting and operating procedures should they need to operate the engine
in an emergency.
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also possible, potentially causing hazardous situations
that include:
• Occupants can 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.
• Operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or high winds.
• Operator can lose control when docking.
