Section 3
3-38
Engine Emergency Stop Switch and 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 continuing to
operate your boat. Never operate your boat if the engine emergency stop switch
does not work.
Navigational Lights
Navigational lights are intended to alert other boats to your presence and course.
Regulations require that navigational lights be clearly lit and properly displayed at
all times between sunset and sunrise, and always when operating in reduced
visibility. The placement, shape and visibility requirements of navigational lights
may vary depending on usage. Check with local authorities, or visit the NASBLA
or U.S. Coast Guard website for additional information.
For additional information, see Navigational Lights & Night Operation on page 7-2.
The engine emergency stop switch is an extremely
important safety precaution. Use the engine emer-
gency stop switch when operating the boat’s engine.
This safety device prevents your boat from becoming
a runaway if you are accidentally thrown from the
seat or away from the helm.
Before turning on the boat’s engine, secure the
engine emergency stop switch lanyard to the opera-
tor. 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.
