Emergency Stop Switch and

Lanyard

Your Correct Craft boat is equipped with an emergency stop switch

and lanyard. Correct Craft strongly recommends that the lanyard

be secured to the operator and the lock plate attached to the

emergency stop switch prior to starting the engine and anytime the

engine is operating.

The lanyard is designed to turn off the engine whenever the

operator moves far enough away from the helm to activate the

switch. It is strongly recommended that the lanyard be used by the

operator.

There are practical limitations to what the emergency stop switch

and lanyard can do. It can take several seconds for the engine and

propeller to stop turning. The boat can continue to coast for

several hundred feet depending on the velocity at the time the

switch was activated, and the degree of any turn. While the boat is

coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in its path as seriously as if

the boat operated under power.

Boating Safety

Sport

• DO NOT operate the boat if the Emergency Stop

Switch system does not function properly.

• Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard to a secure

place on your clothing, your arm or leg while

operating.

• DO NOT attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear

loose. DO NOT route the lanyard where it could

become entangled, preventing it from functioning.

•Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal

operation. Loss of engine power means loss of most

steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat

could slow rapidly. This could cause people and

objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
