Lanyard Stop Switch
1
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.
2 The lanyard is a cord usually between 4 and 5 feet (1220 and
1524 mm) 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 so as to minimize the li-
kelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. It is made
as long as it is in its stretched condition 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.
