Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and clip

The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator's clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power. WARNING! At-
tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure
place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the cord to
clothing that could tear loose. Do not rou-
te the cord where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid
accidentally pulling the cord during nor-
mal operation. Loss of engine power
means the loss of most steering control.

Also, without engine power, the boat
1
could slow rapidly. This could cause peo-
ple and objects in the boat to be thrown
forward.
