Section 2 - Getting to Know Your Power Package
Emergency Stop (E‑Stop) Switch
The emergency stop (E‑stop) switch turns off the engines in an emergency situation, such as a person overboard or tangled
propeller. When activated, the E‑stop switch interrupts the power supply to the main power relay, including power to the gauges,
steering, and accessories.
Activation of the E‑stop switch stops the engines immediately, but the boat continues to coast for some distance depending upon
the velocity and degree of any turn at shutdown. However, the boat does not complete a full circle. While the boat is coasting, it
can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would when under power.
We recommend instructing other occupants on proper starting and operating procedures should they need to operate the engine
in an emergency.
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also possible, which can cause any or all of the following
potentially hazardous situations:
•
Occupants can be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, a particular concern for passengers in the front
of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck by the propulsion or steering components.
•
Operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or high winds.
•
Operator can lose control when docking.
