Sailsh 1900 BB
Ignition Switches, Engine
Shut-off Cord/Lanyard
Each Sailsh boat will be equipped with a Yamaha or
Mercury ignition switch with an emergency engine shut off
cord/lanyard.
This lanyard should be worn at all times while operating
the vessel, if the vessel operator falls or moves a unsafe
distance away from the helm controls the lanyard will pull
out causing the engine to shut down.
Make sure the lanyard is not attached to a part of your
clothing that could be easily torn free causing the switch
not to pull. See your YAMAHA or MERCURY owner’s
manual for more information on this safety feature.
Engine Break-In Period
Each new outboard motor will need to go through a break
in period to make sure all of the internal moving parts and
components have a chance to correctly mate.
For more information on the break in period specic to
your engine please refer to your YAMAHA or MERCURY
Owner’s manual.
