USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD
Emergency Stop/Key Switch
A combination emergency stop switch and key switch is a
feature of Evinrude prewired remote controls and all
Evinrude control wiring kits.
WARNING
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip off the stop
switch during normal boating. Avoid bumping the
key if operating without the clip on the switch. The
resulting unexpected loss of forward motion can
throw occupants forward, causing injury.
Keep the lanyard free from obstructions and entan-
glements.

At each outing, test the system’s operation. With the
engine running, remove the clip from the switch by
pulling the lanyard. If the engine does not stop run-
ning, see your Dealer.
Emergency stop / key switch
Lanyard
IMPORTANT: Carefully check the function of all control
and engine systems before leaving the dock. DO NOT shift
the engine into FORWARD or REVERSE while it is shut
off.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key switch. Snap
the lanyard to a secure place on the operator’s clothing or
life vest — not where it might tear away instead of activat-
ing the stop switch. Disconnecting the clip and lanyard will
stop the engine and prevent the boat from becoming a run-
away if the driver moves beyond the range of the lanyard.
If the lanyard is too long, it can be shortened by knotting or
looping it. DO NOT cut and retie the lanyard. In an emer-
gency situation, the engine can be started without the clip
in place. Follow the normal starting procedure. Reinstall a
clip as soon as possible.
If the following directions are not suitable for your boat’s
control, see your Dealer before proceeding.
Shifting — EVINRUDE/JOHNSON (BRP)
Controls
IMPORTANT: When shifting from FORWARD to RE-
VERSE or from REVERSE to FORWARD, pause at NEU-
TRAL until the engine is at idle speed and the boat has
slowed.
IMPORTANT: Your emergency stop switch can be effec-
tive only when in good working condition. At each outing,
inspect clip and lanyard for cuts, breaks, or wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
