Title: ●Installation and Use of Engine Cut-off Switches [USCG-2009-0206]
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes to prevent recreational boating casualties caused by persons being struck by a boat or propeller when the boat operator leaves the helm (e.g., falls overboard or is ejected.) To do this, the Coast Guard proposes to require engine cut-off switches as a standard safety feature on recreational boats less than 26 feet in length that have propulsion engines, and to require each operator of a recreational boat equipped with an engine cut-off switch to use the switch when the boat's engine(s) is running. This proposed rulemaking would support the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime safety and the National Recreational Boating Safety program's performance goal of reducing recreational boating casualties.
