Personal watercraft safety accessory designed to reconnect the operator to a kill switch, providing an immediate engine shut-off in an emergency. Riders and families gain confidence from a simple, reliable tether that reduces the risk of an uncontrolled run. Is the CDIYTOOL Kill Switch Lanyard the right fit for your Yamaha machine?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Stopping Reliability: Secure ignition clip and snug wrist strap ensure the engine stops when the tether detaches
- • Best for: Personal watercraft owners who need a direct, mechanical safety tether for Yamaha models
- • Not ideal for: Operators without a compatible kill switch or those seeking integrated hands-free systems
Coiled safety lanyard compatible with specified Yamaha Jet Ski models, made from polyurethane, rubber and nylon fibre. Designed to attach the operator to an ignition switch and stop the engine if the wearer is thrown from the craft.
Emergency engine shut-off - thanks to the coiled tether and ignition clip
A 12-inch coiled cord stretches to about 47 inches (120 cm) so the tether keeps tension while allowing movement, and an ignition clip links the tether to the kill switch. When the tether separates from the clip the switch is pulled, triggering engine shutdown as intended.
Immediate and mechanical interruption of the engine reduces risk if the operator falls overboard, providing straightforward safety on the water.
Comfortable to wear for long sessions - with polyurethane and nylon fibre wrist strap
Wrist strap combines polyurethane, rubber and nylon fibre to balance softness and durability, while the coiled design keeps the cord compact during normal use. User reviews note the strap sits comfortably without chafing during extended wear.
Comfortable wrist fit encourages consistent use, so riders are more likely to fasten the tether every time the engine is started.
Built for marine conditions - with waterproof materials and rubber-protected buckle
Constructed from waterproof polyurethane, rubber and nylon fibre with a rubber-covered buckle to resist rebound impact and reduce direct contact on skin. The assembly is manufactured under quality control standards aimed at improved durability.
Durable, water-resistant build stands up to repeated exposure, making the lanyard suitable for regular use on personal watercraft.
