Guess them boys didn't have a hot foot on that boat. Too bad they don't make those mandatory on all new boats, don't ya think?

Mine is attached to my life jacket when driving the boat. When I get up to fish the life jacket stays on and I wrap the kill switch lanyard around the steering wheel so I can't forget it.

I almost had a bad accident in High school "skipping" my boat around a point in a lake. It was scary enough that it convinced a 17 year old to always wear both a life jacket and kill switch everytime.

I wear mine.. and to add to this.. buy a universal kill switch lanyard and keep it in your boat. Let you partner know where it is! If you get thrown out, they or someone else can restart the motor to get to you. Or if you come up on someone you can restart their boat. I think I gave $12 for mine. It works on every brand, or it’s supposed to. Yamaha and OMC I know for sure it works.
