Should theoperator move away from the controls, the clip pulls free,releasing the plunger and stopping the engine.If the engine must be shut down quickly, a pull on thecord to release the clip from the switch will stop theengine.To reset the switch after activation, reinstall the switch clip.Notice: If lanyard switch is damaged or lost you can purchase a newswitch through your local marina or Malibu dealer.Motorbox CoverThe upholstered motorbox reduces engine noise andprovides protection for the passengers on board.
