Fastening Security Line
3 The primary purpose for installing a security line is to prevent loss of the
outboard if the outboard becomes detached from the boat transom.
An effective security line should be of a working strength of at least five times the
weight of the outboard.
The security line should be attached between the boat and outboard following one
of these steps.
Step 1. The length of the security line should be short enough and affixed in a manner
to prevent the outboard from rising up and disengaging off the boat transom.
Step 2. The length of the security line should be long enough and affixed in a manner
to permit a detached outboard to submerge completely behind the boat and stop
running but not too short that could allow the outboard to continue running and propel
itself back into the boat.
WARNING
If the length of security line being used is long enough to allow the outboard
to disengage off the boat transom but is too short to not allow the outboard
to submerge behind the boat and stop running, the outboard could continue
running and propel itself back into the boat with the propeller rotating under
power. This exposes the occupants to serious injury or death.
