jediangler Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Glad everyone involved is OK and the runaway boat didn't cause any bodily harm to other nearby competitors. I've never heard of this happening at a kayak fishing tournament though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 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?
