SAILFISH 276 DC | IGNITION SWITCHES & ENGINE SHUT OFF CORD / LANYARD
Ignition Switches, Engine Shut-off Cord/
Lanyard
Each Sailfish 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 oper-
ating 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 MER-
CURY 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 specific
to your engine please refer to your YAMAHA or MER-
CURY Owner’s manual.
