Figure 8-13
Whenever your boat’s engine is on, physically secure one end of the emergency
engine stop switch lanyard to the emergency stop switch and the other to the boat
operator. If the operator is thrown from the seat or moves too far from the helm,
the lanyard will disconnect from the switch, activating the switch to turn off the
engine.
• Never remove or modify the engine emergency stop switch and/or lanyard.
• Always keep the lanyard free from obstructions that could interfere with its
operation.
• Always check the switch for proper operation. With the engine running, pull the
lanyard. If the engine does not stop, have the switch repaired before operating
your boat further.
• Never operate your boat if the engine emergency stop switch does not work.
WARNING! Removing the engine stop switch and/or the lanyard can
cause loss of control. See Safety Precautions in the Safety Section of this
manual for more details.
Neutral Start Safety Switch (Start in Gear
Prevention)
The neutral start safety switch provides start-in-gear prevention. The switch
controls power to the engine starter circuit of the ignition switch. The engine gear
shift control lever must be in the NEUTRAL position to allow the ignition switch to
activate the engine starter. This safety device will prevent the boat’s engine from
starting if the engine is in gear.
