enhanced by using the ignition shutdown switch,
since the boat will stop when the operator can no
longer control the boat.
However, unintentional engine shutdown may result
in unintentional harm. For example, a passenger
may lose balance and fall, or control could be lost
during docking. No specific guidelines can be given
for switch use. The ultimate decision of when to use
an ignition shutdown switch, rests with the operator
or owner.
When the switch is used, the operator must securely
clip the lanyard to their belt or clothing so that if the
operator falls overboard or into the boat, the switch
is activated and the engine shuts down.
To reset the ignition shutdown switch after it has
been activated, simply reinstall the switch clip above
the shutoff switch and flip the switch to the UP
position.
F. ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM (ONLY ON
CERTAIN ENGINES)
The engine Operator’s Manual will tell you if your
engine is equipped with an audible alarm and how
to use it.
The alarm indicates a problem with engine water
temperature, oil pressure and/or stern drive oil level.

A. TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute
(RPM) of the engine. (It does not indicate the speed
of the boat.) Your Engine Operator’s Manual
indicates the maximum full throttle RPM at which
your engine should operate. This must not be
exceeded or serious engine damage will occur. The
tachometer should also be used to determine the
most comfortable and economical cruising RPM.
