Emergency Stop Switch
An emergency stop (E‑stop) switch is used to turn off the engines in an emergency situation, such as a person overboard or a
tangled propeller. When activated, an E‑stop switch interrupts the power supply to the engine and transmission. If the boat is
equipped with an E‑stop switch, the E‑stop switch turns off all of the engines.
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.
