GENERAL INFORMATION
Lanyard Stop Switch (Continued)
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal op-
eration is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the follow-
ing potentially hazardous situations:
1. Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of
forward motion – a particular concern for passengers in the front
of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck
by the gear case or propeller.
2. Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong cur-
rent or high winds.
3. Loss of control when docking.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces re-
sulting from in accidental or unintended stop switch ac-
tivation. The boat operator should never leave the opera-
tor’s station without first disconnecting the stop switch
lanyard from the operator.
