A.8. Engine Key
Switch Panels
On the RB-HS, there are two engine key switch panels (Figure 3-8) and on
the RB-S there is one engine key switch panel (Figure 3-9) mounted below
the gearshift and throttle control. Each panel has an ignition key switch for
starting labeled OFF-ON-START. The key switch is interlocked to allow
engine starting only with the throttle lever in neutral.
A.8.a. RB-HS
Panels
One engine kill switch is installed next to the ignition key switch for each
of the engines. The engine kill switch clip must be inserted in the engine
kill switch in order for the engine to start and run. The kill switch clip is
attached to an 18-inch lanyard, which is attached to the operator’s PFD or
boat crew survival vest. Should the operator/coxswain fall away from the
controls, the engine(s) will immediately stop.
Engine warning lights are mounted above the key switches on the switch
panels.
