NOTE
NOTE
The RB-HS utilizes two control panels with warning indicators for starting and stopping
the outboard engines. Each control panel has an engine kill switch. The RB-S has a
single control panel with warning indicators for starting and stopping the outboard
engines. The RB-S control panel has only one engine kill switch, which if removed, will
stop both engines.
The use of the engine kill switch is required whenever the boat is started or is underway.
The engine kill switch is located below the start switch. The activation clip for the kill
switch MUST be inserted into the switch body to start the engine. The lanyards (Figure
3-8 (RB-HS), Figure 3-9 (RB-S)) MUST be properly attached to the coxswain at all times
during boat operation. A second kill switch lanyard with activation clip MUST be carried
onboard to enable remaining crewmembers to operate the boat in the event the coxswain is
ejected.
