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.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device
(PFD) or wrist.
