Moeller Universal 7 Key Kill Switch, Fits Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu, Suzuki, Nissan, 70 Inch Coil Tether

The Moeller 053455-10 is a universal 7 key kill switch built to serve as an emergency engine cut off switch on board. It comes with keys that fit Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu, Suzuki, and Nissan kill switches, so a single unit covers the outboard and sterndrive brands most boaters already run. The switch uses a 70 inch coil type tether, which stretches to keep the lanyard clipped to the operator while allowing normal movement around the helm, and pulls free instantly to cut engine power if the operator is thrown from the seat or moves too far from the controls. This is a core piece of onboard safety equipment: a functioning kill switch and lanyard combination stops the engine the moment the tether disconnects, helping prevent a runaway boat if the driver is separated from the helm. At 0.16 pounds, the switch is compact and mounts easily into a standard helm panel. The Moeller 053455-10 is sold as the switch and key set with tether; it is intended as a direct-fit universal replacement for the kill switch and key styles used across the listed engine brands.
