If you are thrown from the helm or move too far from the console, the coiled lanyard pulls the switch and instantly cuts battery power, stopping the engine. The switch features dual circuitry, so it can be wired for either ignition kill or magneto kill depending on your engine setup, making it a genuinely universal fit across boat and PWC ignition systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is stamped brass and injection molded nylon and Delrin, built to hold up to a weatherproof marine environment. The included lanyard measures approximately 15 inches when coiled and stretches to about 48 inches, and should be replaced any time it becomes worn, cut, or frayed since a compromised lanyard will not reliably trip the switch. The mounting hole is 5\/8 inch in diameter, and the switch is rated for a maximum panel thickness of 3\/8 inch, so it installs into a standard helm or console cutout. Electrically, it is rated for 12 volts and a maximum draw of 5 amps. As with any kill switch, test it for proper function before each use to confirm it will cut power when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 420488-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kill Switch - Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKill Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal (dual circuitry for ignition kill or magneto kill)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Amp Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Panel Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 15 inches coiled, 48 inches stretched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stamped brass and injection molded nylon and Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.148 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 4 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e OFF-NONE-ON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper Temperature Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194 degrees Fahrenheit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514423762\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal fit for boats and personal watercraft;
