ECOS Switch lanyard length

[J-cubed]

Is there any requirement on how long an ECOS lanyard can be? I doubled mine in order to move around the boat a little. I always seem to forget that I have it attached when I'm docking or slowing down to troll. Killing the engine at a most inopportune time. Causing unneeded problems and possible damage to my boat.

No requirement. The only downside to a long lanyard is the possibility of tripping over it.

That's why the new reg does not require use when docking or trolling.

highly recommend the Fell MOB wireless system!

"Fell?" "MOB?" Are they having fun with the product name? 8^)

Have a "Fell" ordered. In terms of a lanyard. Something similar to the retractable dog leads may work. No slack, as long as the spring tension doesn't pull the clip on the kill switch.
