Title: Installation and Use of Engine Cut-Off Switches on Recreational Vessels
Abstract: To assist in accomplishing the Coast Guard's marine safety mission, and the National Recreational Boating Safety program's performance goal of reducing recreational boating casualties, the Coast Guard is seeking data and information to inform its decision on whether it should propose requiring engine cut-off switches as a standard safety feature on propulsion machinery and/or starting controls installed on recreational boats less than 26 feet in length and require operators of these recreational boats to use the switch. This safety measure is intended to help prevent recreational boating casualties caused by persons being struck by a boat or propeller when the boat operator is separated from the operating controls (e.g., fall overboard or is ejected).
