I've never heard of this happening at a kayak fishing tournament though :sarcasm:.

 

thats funny.....i suppose it could though ....if you didnt secure your kayak to the roof of your vehicle ....it would probably fly off on the way to the tournament...

Just thought I might add for those that run big tillers like me that wearing your kill tether attatched to your life vest does little good when you fall backwards towards the motor. I learned the hard way with what could have been fatal for me, I now strap the kill tether to my left wrist so that if my hand comes off the throttle the motor will (hopefully) cut out.

 

 

My little 25hp outboard doesn't have a kill switch. In light of this event/thread, I'm thinking again that I should seriously look into installing one, if possible. Before I hit up the search engines, does anyone know of a method or means by which I can do this? Are there kill-switch kits that I can purchase and wire in?
