7. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Your boat is equipped with an engine shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the helm
between the steering wheel and the engine control unit. The ignion shutdown switch incorporates a
shut-o switch and a lanyard. Before operang 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 staon, either accidently by falling into the boat, or by being ejected
overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent inadvertent acvaon. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.
