The system indicator and switch module (ENGINE
SHUTDOWN AND OVERRIDE SYSTEM) operates
similarly to the indicator light for the gas engine
boats. The module also incorporates an engine
shutdown switch with override system. When the
system discharges it will shutdown the engine.

Located at the helm, the manual fire extinguisher
system allows the operator to manually activate the
automatic extinguisher in the engine room. Early
detection and use of the manual override system
will reduce fire damage by eliminating the time
necessary for heat in the engine room to rise to a
temperature necessary to activate the automatic
fire extinguisher.
