Boat safety accessory designed to stop the engine in an emergency, reducing the risk of runaway craft. GZZTORES Boat Kill Switch Lanyards use an adjustable, floating wrist strap that suits a wide range of riders and offers reassurance on open water. Is this the right safety upgrade for your Yamaha or outboard craft?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Safety Functionality: Engine switch cuts power when the lanyard is pulled, causing the engine to stop and the boat to slow and stop
- • Best for: Recreational boaters and jet ski riders needing a simple, reliable emergency shut-off
- • Not ideal for: Owners needing integrated manufacturer immobiliser systems or bespoke electronic security
The lanyard acts as an emergency kill switch that disconnects the engine when pulled. Materials include nylon fibre, PU cord and a plastic buckle for flotation and comfort.
Immediate Engine Shutdown – With Safety Lanyard and Wrist Strap
Pulling the lanyard disengages the kill switch, which interrupts the ignition circuit so the engine stops and the craft decelerates. Mechanical connection to the switch ensures a direct, rapid response without electronics.
Rapid shutdown reduces the chance of collisions or runaways, giving riders a clear safety mechanism in emergencies. Useful for solo riders and passengers who need a simple fail-safe.
Wide Compatibility – Thanks to Universal Fit for Yamaha Jet Skis and Outboards
Listed as a replacement for part numbers EW2-68348-00-00 and 6K8-82556-00-00, with explicit compatibility claims for WaveRunner, WaveVenture, WaveRaider, WaveJammer, WaveBlaster, FX140 and other marine outboard motors. Design follows common kill switch mounting and connection standards.
Straightforward replacement for many Yamaha models, making swaps quick and reducing downtime. Handy for owners who prefer off-the-shelf replacements over dealer-only parts.
Comfort and Durability – With Nylon Fibre, PU Cord and Plastic Buckle
Construction uses nylon fibre for the wrist strap, a PU cord for the tether and a plastic buckle for attachment, with manufacturing under stricter quality control standards. The materials are soft against skin and designed to float.
Comfortable for extended wear while riding, and floating design reduces the chance of losing the lanyard. Durable materials mean routine use should not require frequent replacement.
