Here's my setup. I unclip the wrist band and hook the clip to my lifeline when I have it on during the poker runs. It hangs on the shifter when not in use and it doesn't interfere with docking. It's all jetski stuff available at Overtons.

Allways... and now it is like putting on seatbelt. Just doesn't seem to be a better reason NOT to .

Please, not only install a tether kill, but more important---wear it!!!!!! See the Tres Martin web site for some neat wrist tether cords.

I was with Tres on Mon / Tues....... many stories (all true) of folks that had NOT put on a tether.

So you took his course??? Well worth the pesos I'm sure.

I've had a hell of a time trying to track down an extra tether. Mine are similar to what hunster pictured but they are deeper/thicker. Every mercruiser and aftermarket one I have found is to shallow to clip on my tether.

So true, Croosin2. Advice well taken.
