    GENERAL INFORMATION Boater's Responsibilities The operator (driver) is responsible for the safe operation of the boat and the safety of its occupants and the general public. It is strongly recommended that the operator read and understand this entire manual before operating the boat. Be sure that at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basics of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is unable to operate the boat.
  • Page 12 GENERAL INFORMATION The lanyard cord is usually 122–152 cm (4–5 feet) in length when stretched out, with an element on one end made to be inserted into the switch and a clip on the other end for attaching to the operator's PFD or wrist. The lanyard is coiled to make its at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects.
  • Page 13 GENERAL INFORMATION While activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, a boat will continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn at shut down. However, the boat will not complete a full circle.
