Put the coiled cord around your wrist and snap on to one of the coils. It will be "springy and can be easily removed and put back on. The law doesn't say how it has to be attached, so as long as it appears to be attached somewhere on your person, you're legal. Maybe the "feel good" of this thing will eventually calm down.

I bet different GW are going to interpret this law differently when it comes to trolling. To me the law clearly allows it.TPWD should do an official FAQ or guidance on EXACTY how it will be enforced. Otherwise trollers will have to pay lawyers to get out of tickets they never should have gotten in the first place. Rule is actually pretty clear. If you are at more than headway speed, you have to have it on. That means anything above an idle, it's not rocket science. I think it is pretty clear as written also, but we already have one report from enjoying retirement that the GW says if the big engine is on you gotta wear it. So the confusion is there already. It does not help that there are a lot of old versions of this bills text floating around like the one found by the OP.

Won't be a problem for me personally, if the big motor is running - I am already hooked up.

They sell the switch and lanyard at Academy. Install and don't hook up the wiring. Doubt they will look at the back of the switch.

What part of if your boat wasn't equipped with a kill switch, you don't need one do you not understand?

Did anyone get inspected yesterday in regards to the kill switch law? We were on Lake Georgetown yesterday and didn't see a single GW or lake patrol.

Opening day of Dove season probably had them busy. My wife had 3 pass her on Hwy 79 in East Williamson county heading East. And they weren't pulling boats.
I sure they will get around to it.

There may be legal and/or civil ramifications should you be involved in a boat accident with this option. If you're boat wasn't equipped, you would be better not to use one at all then attempt to fake it.

Got checked on Cedar Creek Lake on Sept. 1st. The first thing the game warden did was look to see if I was hooked up. Then checked life jackets and fire extinguisher. Was a nice guy and very respectful. I expected them all to be out checking dove hunters, but they were on the lake.

How long do you think that they will issue warnings instead of tickets on this law. I have talked to a lot of boaters over the past few weeks and none of them knew about it. Heck, the new Outdoor Annual has all of one sentence in it about the change and it is on page 29 at the bottom. You would think that TPWD would have mentioned it on the cover. Terrible effort to get the word out.

The only time that I have heard about it I was on here. I had to look hard to find it in the annual.
