7. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch

Your boat is equipped with an engine shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the helm
between the steering wheel and the engine control unit. The ignition shutdown switch incorporates a
shut-off switch and a lanyard. Before operating the boat, one end of the lanyard must be connected to
the shut-off switch while the other end is connected to the operator. If an emergency arises where
the engine must be shut down, pull the lanyard cord to release it from the shut-off switch, which in
turn shuts down the engine. This switch is designed to shut the engine off when the operator of the
boat leaves the control station, either accidently by falling into the boat, or by being ejected
overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent inadvertent activation. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.
Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Wear the lanyard at all times when operating the boat. Use
it to stop only in an emergency. DO NOT use it to shut off
the engine during normal operation
