**The Lanyard Stop Switch is a simple but extremely effective** on-board safety device designed to shut off a boat’s engine if the operator moves away (as in accidental ejection) from the operator’s position. The Lanyard physically connects the operator to a “stop switch” on the dashboard or side adjacent to the operator’s position. Always wear your lanyard!
