Section 1• Safety
Your boat is equipped with an engine stop switch.
The switch is located on the console, below the shift/
throttle control. The ignition shut down safety switch
incorporates a shut-off switch, switch clip, lanyard
and lanyard clip, which is clipped to the operator
when running.
If an emergency arises and the engine must be shut
down, a pull on the cord to release the clip from the
shut-off will shut off the engine.
This switch is designed to shut the engine off when
the operator of the boat leaves the control station,
either accidentally by falling into the boat, or by
being ejected overboard. This would most likely
occur as a result of poor operating practices.
Ignition Shut Down Safety Switch
Wear the lanyard at all times when operating
the boat. Use it to stop only in an emergency. DO
NOT use it to shut off the engine during normal
operation

NOTICE
This switch only works when used properly. The
decision of whether to use an ignition safety
switch or not rests with you, the operator.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent
inadvertant activation. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.
Accidental loss of power can be hazardous, particularly
while docking or in heavy seas, strong current or high
winds. Passengers and crew may lose balance and the
boat may lose steering control.
Should the operator fall out of the boat at planing
speed, it may take several seconds for the engine
and propeller to stop turning. The boat may continue
to coast for several hundred feet, causing injury to
anyone in its path.
To avoid boating in unsafe areas where there are
underwater obstructions, shallow water, unnavigable
conditions such as dangerous currents, and others,
you must chart a course. This means having and
using National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) charts for coastal waters,
observing and understanding all navigational aids,
using the knowledge and guidance of experienced
boaters, and being aware of the tides and times
where appropriate. If you are boating in an area you
are unfamiliar with, proceed with caution and post
a lookout to watch for hazards.
Chart Your Course
Float Plan
Float plans are important to you should you encounter
problems on the water. A float plan should describe
where you will be boating, departure time and return,
number and names of passengers and destination.
The float plan should be given to a friend or relative,
so they can give the information to a national boating
agency like the U.S. Coast Guard, in the event you do
not return at the time specified on the float plan.
If there are any changes to the float plan they should
be conveyed to the person holding the float plan. Once
you return you should contact the person holding the
float plan to let them know you are back.
