Haven't in the past but working to make it a habit now.

I like the idea of wireless .... pricey though ....

I did the same thing this past week after reading this thread. It had just never occurred to me to make one out of a PWC lanyard. I can wear it on my ankle or wrist and I can attest from flying off of PWC's that they do not come off when wet and they are very comfortable to wear.

Another good read. Got me thinking.

I guess I will need to install one on the flat bottom.

I started wearing mine many years and boats ago when I bought a Donzi 16 Classic for water skiing. Great for that, but a real trip at speed! You never knew how that boat was going to fly. And fly it did!!

I tie mine to my bathing suit draw string...with a double knot. I don't want my hand or foot encombered. Works great for me.

I Allways Wear Mine. Allways.

































Allways

Tried the wrist lanyard this weekend and hated it. Kept getting hung up on stuff and was generally a pain in the ass. Good news is the new lanyard is longer and the clip is a lot better, easier to hook it on a belt loop or drawstring.

I wrap my lanyard around my ankle, then clip it back to itself. More comfortable than I thought, but I plan on buying a PWC style wrist band soon.
Honestly, this is a new habit for me. Just started really making an effort to wear it this season. I have worn mine each and every time the boat has been driven so far. I was compelled after reading this thread and a few others here on OSO.

Any ignition interupt switch remains an active mechanism. Until such time as a truely passive system (air bags in autos) is developed the tethered switch remains the best option. Wireless systems allow for too many failure modes.

Tethers require human input to vizualize and feel the input and then respond accordingly.

I look forward to the time when a passive ignition interupt is developed.

Will not get in the boat without them.
