Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required
capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as
determined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and
some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
The lanyard is a cord usually between 1220 and 1524 mm (4 and 5 feet) in
length when stretched out, with an element on one end made to be inserted
into the switch and a snap on the other end for attaching to the operator. The
lanyard is coiled to make its at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize
the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out
length is made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the
operator choose to move around in an area close to the normal operator's
position. If it is desired to have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the
operator's wrist or leg, or tie a knot in the lanyard.
