Boat control functions
Engine shut-off switch
Always attach the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) to your PFD before starting the
engine. Failure to attach the cord could
result in a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
in such a way that it could become en-
tangled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Once the engine
has stopped, you have no steering con-
trol of the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly from planing
speed. This could cause people and ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward,
which could cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shut-off
cord (lanyard) must be attached to the engine
shut-off switch for the engine to run. The cord
must be attached to a secure place on the
operator’s PFD. Should the operator fall over-
board or leave the helm, the cord will pull out
the clip, stopping the ignition to the engine.
This will prevent the boat from running away
under power.

Battery switch
The battery switch is located in the rear un-
derseat storage compartment (port).
1 Battery switch
Turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) posi-
tion when the boat will not be used again right
away. Turning the switch to the OFF (red) po-
sition will prevent the battery from being
drained if another electrical switch is acci-
dentally left in the on position. NOTICE: Do
not turn the battery switch to the OFF (red)
position if the boat is moored in the water
as it will prevent the anchor light from
functioning.
