Boating Essentials Kill Switch Keys

Boating Essentials kill switch keys are an essential accessory designed for use with kill switch systems, providing a reliable and easy-to-use means of shutting off your boat's engine in case of an emergency. A key or lanyard is attached to the operator, and the other end is clipped to the boat's ignition or kill switch. When the operator is unexpectedly separated from the controls, the lanyard is pulled, disconnecting from the switch. This action immediately cuts the engine's ignition, stopping the boat from continuing to move uncontrollably. These engine cut-off devices are required for boats under a certain length, and federal law mandates their use on boats up to 26 ft. long that are equipped with them. They're bright red color ensures high visibility, allowing you to locate and engage the kill switch when needed to prevent injury or damage to others in the water. Show Less
