Sure. If you feel more comfortable with these, and want to wear it, that’s great. But there’s a difference between that and making them legally required for everyone, including those who don’t want to wear it. Not everything that is thought to be a good thing by part of the people, needs to be therefor legally required for everyone. We are adults and we should make choices. I do not accept for a moment that not wearing a cut off lanyard is creating a huge danger to the public out there on the water.
I also usually wore the lanyard when I was alone on my old boat that had one. Especially in the central basin where there were few boats. But I don’t think we need a law that absolutely legally requires that the operator wear them in all circumstances. That’s what this law does.Last edited by Softshellcrab; 04-21-2021 at 08:03 AM.

I have 2000 2052 Trophy. It has a cut off switch by my right knee but there is no way to put a lanyard on it.

My main 2002 Wellcraft has one but it just hags there right beside my steering wheel, where i actually use one is my trolling/kicker, I have the Auto-tether and use it 100% of the time when I'm alone. Trolling is where you could really fall over board and watch the boat leave you behind. PFD on as well then.

Coast Guard Announces New Law Requiring Use of Engine Cut-off Switches | Coast Guard News
I don't believe this is a correct statement
4th paragraph from bottom states they feel that most boats already have them.Captain Don M.

Re: Hard knocks
I had my lanyard attached (model 207, 2004, twenty foot grady white) when taking our family (granddaughter request!) on an idling ride in West Harbor last week. Down one canal when I went to do a 180 turn, the lanyard wrapped around the steering wheel and disabled the boat. It took a few seconds to even figure out why I lost power, and then I spent a full minute unraveling it. No damage done, but I will not be wearing that again. I believe the law says that we do not need to wear it in no wake situations, but once it is attached I usually forget about it, so the same thong could happen when I come off the lake and try to dock. And why would the law pertain only to boats under 26 feet?
