When the boat is mounted with two
outboard motors, perform the
following on the right and left
engines respectively.
1. Insert the clip at one end of the

emergency stop switch lanyard into
the emergency stop switch.
Attach the other end of the

stop switch clip to the emergency
stop switch on the remote control
box as well as on the control panel.
If the operator does not attach the
