BEP Marine 1001601 Kill Switch with Lanyard for Engine Stop Safety

The BEP Marine 1001601 Kill Switch with Lanyard provides essential engine-stop safety for marine applications, making it ideal for retrofitting older boats that lack this critical safety feature. This switch-and-lanyard combination ensures the engine automatically shuts off if the operator is thrown from the helm, preventing runaway vessel incidents.

Key Features:

• Complete kill switch and lanyard combination for easy installation
• 12-24V DC operation with 10A rating for reliable performance
• Standard 1/4-inch blade terminals for straightforward wiring connections
• Durable marine-grade construction designed to withstand harsh saltwater environments
• Universal compatibility with most outboard and sterndrive engines

The included lanyard attaches to the operator and the kill switch, creating a safety tether that stops the engine immediately if disconnected. This is an essential safety device for anyone operating a boat, particularly in solo boating situations or rough water conditions. BEP Marine also offers a replacement lanyard separately (part number 1001602) for continued safety maintenance.
