The man overboard safety switch acts as a lifesaver in critical situations. When activated (for example, if the operator falls overboard), it immediately cuts the outboard motor's electrical circuit, stopping it to prevent accidents.
Advantages
- Essential safety component on any motor-powered boat.
- Easy installation and intuitive use.
- Compatible with most standard recreational boat cut-off systems.
Operation
- Connected: electrical continuity, motor running.
- Disconnected: no continuity, engine immediately cuts off.
Applications
- Recommended for launches, inflatables, rigid inflatables, and any boat with an outboard motor.
Maintenance Tips
- Check the device’s integrity and function every season.
- Replace immediately after inappropriate pulls or visible wear.
