7. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Your boat is equipped with an ignion shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the helm
under the engine control unit. The ignion shutdown switch incorporates a shut-o switch and a
lanyard. Before operang the boat, one end of the lanyard must be connected to the shut-o switch
while the other end is connected to the operator. If an emergency arises where the engine must be
shut down, pull the lanyard cord to release it from the shut-o switch, which in turn shuts down the
engine. This switch is designed to shut the engine o when the operator of the boat leaves the control
staon, either accidently by falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent inadvertent acvaon. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.
Wear the lanyard at all mes when operang the boat. Use
it to stop the engine only in an emergency. DO NOT use it to
shut o the engine during normal operaon
