Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and
clip
The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator's clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power. WARNING! At-
tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure
place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the cord to
clothing that could tear loose. Do not
route the cord where it could become en-
tangled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could cause
people and objects in the boat to be
thrown forward.
