Do you always wear your kill switch lanyard?
I am really curious about this based on some incidents and other boats I have been a PAX on.
Honest answers please. If you do not, Why not?

Re: Do you always wear your kill switch lanyard?
I always wear it when on a plane, unless I forget. Speaking of kill switches, we took out the Minx today. When we got home, I was running the boat, and decided to test the kill switch. I pulled it and the boat kept running! I don't know if it's the switch, or wasn't wired properly, but I have a brand new one here at the house that I will install this week.

Cuda,
Good point I'm glad you brought this up. As part of our daliy checks we always shut the boats down by using the kill switch. I check my own boat by using it when I shut down after flushing the motors.
The "unless I forget" is one thing I'm trying to mitigate.
