Quick engine shutdown – With Tohatsu-compatible stop switch replacement

Designed to replace the outboard motor ignition stop switch used on Tohatsu engines, the lanyard connects to the ignition point so a pull interrupts normal operation. Retractable cord keeps the line ready for immediate use.

Immediate engine stop helps reduce the risk of propeller-related injury and runaway boats. Suits situations where a worn or missing stop switch key needs replacing quickly.

Durable in marine conditions – Thanks to ABS plastic construction

ABS plastic offers wear resistance, corrosion resistance and resistance to ageing, keeping components stable under sun and spray. Lightweight properties help avoid undue strain on mounting points.

Longer service life compared with untreated materials, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Lower corrosion risk makes the lanyard more dependable on saltwater trips.

Tangle-free handling – With retractable cord and rotating carabiner hook

Retractable and flexible cord design pairs with a rotating carabiner hook to allow free movement without the rope twisting. The swivel hook reduces snag points during manoeuvres.

Clears quickly from controls and lines, helping maintain safe deck ergonomics. Less chance of snagging or accidental catches while sailing or trolling.
