The switch works with an extra strong, coiled, self-retracting lanyard that the operator clips to a life jacket or wrist; if the operator is thrown from the seat, the lanyard pulls free and cuts ignition power, stopping the engine. This type of emergency stop switch is required by existing boating safety laws, and the KS-1 is built to meet those requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch housing is molded from durable plastic in a black matte finish that resists glare and blends into most helm layouts. It mounts into a 1-1\/2 inch diameter hole and requires 1-1\/2 inches of clearance behind the panel for the switch body, so it is a straightforward panel-mount installation on the dash or console near the helm seat. The overall switch housing measures 2-3\/4 inches by 2 inches. Electrically, it is a simple two-position ON-OFF circuit, making wiring and operation easy to understand for any boater replacing a worn or damaged switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile rated for all single outboard applications, this style of kill switch is commonly installed across outboard, inboard\/outboard, inboard, and multi-engine boats wherever a single emergency stop circuit is needed at that station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-H Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e KS-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saf-T-Stop Ignition Kill Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single outboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ignition kill switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e ON-OFF, 2 positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Required Behind Panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Housing Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-3\/4 inches x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra strong, coiled, self-retracting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the T-H Marine KS-1 kill switch designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The KS-1 Saf-T-Stop is designed for single outboard applications, providing one emergency ignition shutoff circuit at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the KS-1 meet legal requirements for emergency stop switches?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the T-H Marine KS-1 Saf-T-Stop meets the requirements of existing laws covering mandatory use of emergency engine stop switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hole do I need to mount the KS-1 switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The KS-1 mounts in a 1-1\/2 inch diameter hole and requires 1-1\/2 inches of clearance behind the panel for the switch body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the KS-1 switch housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The switch housing measures 2-3\/4 inches by 2 inches overall, not counting the depth needed behind the mounting panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the lanyard on the KS-1 made of and how does it work?\u003c\/strong\u003e An extra strong, coiled, self-retracting lanyard connects to the operator;
