Activation of an E‑stop switch stops the engine, or engines, immediately, but the boat can

continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn

at shutdown. 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, and

passengers in the front of the boat could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck

by the propulsion or steering components.

•

The operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or

high winds.

•

The operator can lose control when docking.

Restarting an engine using the key switch or start button after an E‑stop shutdown without

first turning the key switch to the off position for at least 30 seconds will restart the engine

but cause fault codes to be set. Unless you are in a potentially hazardous situation, turn

the key switch off and wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the engine or engines. If

after restarting some fault codes are still being displayed, contact your Authorized

Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Repair Facility.
