WARNING
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result
in loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can

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.
