MERGENCY ENGINE SHUTDOWN SWITCH
An engine shutdown safety switch is built into the engine control; it incorporates a shut-
off switch and a lanyard. Before operating the boat, connect one end of the lanyard to
the shut-off switch while the other end to the operator.
If the engine needs an urgent shut down: pull the lanyard cord to release it from the
shut-off switch, which in turn shuts down the engine. This switch is designed to shut the
engine off when the boat operator leaves the control station, either accidentally by falling
into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent unintentional activation. Do not let the
lanyard become entangled and replace it if worn.
Wear the lanyard at all times while operating the boat. Use it to stop the engine only in an
emergency. DO NOT use it to shut off the engine during normal operation.

OVERBOARD PREVENTION AND RECOVERY
The passenger and working areas of the boat are described in chapter 3.6.
Other areas must not be occupied when underway due to the risk of falling, potentially
into the water.
If a person has fallen into the water in calm seas, the person can use the rescue ladder
located on the stern platform, see figure below. Always turn off the engine using the
emergency (dead-man) switch before using the ladder. The ladder can be pulled down by
a person already in the water. In harsh weather, or if the person is physically not able to
climb, it may be hard to use the ladder alone and help from a person onboard may be
needed. Therefore, it is recommended for 2 persons onboard, especially in harsh
weather conditions.
Chapter 4.8 further describes MOB rescue/swim ladder.
