Sea-Dog 420489-1 Replacement Lanyard Only for Emergency Kill Switch 420488-1

The Sea-Dog 420489-1 is a replacement lanyard only, designed to restore a Sea-Dog emergency kill switch to full working order once the original lanyard becomes worn, cut, or frayed. The kill switch lanyard clips to the operator's life vest and connects to the kill switch mounted on the console. If the operator is thrown from the boat or moves too far from the helm, the lanyard pulls free of the switch, triggering the circuit change that cuts power to the engine and brings the boat to a stop. This replacement lanyard is built for the Sea-Dog kill switch system used with kill switch 420488-1.

The lanyard is coiled nylon construction in red, measuring approximately 15 inches when coiled and stretching to about 48 inches, giving the operator freedom of movement at the helm while still reaching the switch. It uses a snap-style closure at the switch end for quick attachment and release. Because the lanyard is the wear component of the kill switch system, Sea-Dog recommends replacing it as soon as it shows fraying, cuts, or other signs of wear, since a compromised lanyard may not release or seat properly and can affect the switch's ability to shut down the engine when needed. This is a lanyard-only replacement part; it does not include the kill switch itself.
