Had the lanyard get pulled out at 35 in a line of other boats going the same speed. Close quarters on a busy weekend during scallop season. Scary as sh*t praying that every one behind me was aware that I was without power.Every body went around but the first guy got close.

As some before posted. A clip onto the belt loop of the aftcos is all I need. I have no issue with where the kill is mounted on my 242. I have made my own lanyards for all of my boats out of paracord. Never had a problem.

wife was putting sunscreen on my shoulders and bumped the lanyard from behind me. Doesn't take much to knock it off. I bumped the switch another time and it separated enough to trip the switch but didn't come off. We were out there for 30 minutes scratching our heads until a friend said check the kill switch. I touched it and it clicked back up into place. Both times were pretty embarrassing.

There are more than a few kill switches on the market, but the Mercury option is the one you want. You can't "bump" it to kill position. I highly recommend it. It does not require a lanyard attached to it to run. It's a simple SPDT toggle switch with a hood that get's turned off with the lanyard is yanked out. And you can put any number of types of lanyard "loops" in there. I always bought ones designed for PWC that matched the colors on my boat, and cut off all the plastic pieces; and just used the loop on the end.
And I always clipped it to the BOTTOM of my shorts' leg opening, via a carabiner. It gave me plenty of movement around the front of the cockpit, and if I was getting close to a yank, I could feel it tugging my shorts against my leg.

I MUCH prefer putting a carabiner on the end of my lanyard, and hooking it over the waist of my shorts, or sometimes on the lower seam of the leg opening on the shorts. This keeps the lanyard COMPLETELY OUT of my way so I can use either hand anywhere at anytime on the dash/wheel/controls, waving, or holding my drink.
