WARNING
Always attach the engine stop
switch lanyard to your personal
flotation device (PFD)
starting the engine. Failure to
attach the lanyard could result in
a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
Do not attach the lanyard to cloth-
ing that could tear loose. Do not
route the lanyard in such a way
that it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the
lanyard during normal operation.
Once the engine has stopped you
have no steering control of the
boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapid-
ly from planing speed. This could
cause people and objects in the
boat to be thrown forward, which
could cause injury.
