I knew someone who was alone in the boat and fell out. It was a pretty fast rig. One of the steering cables popped while at probably 3/4 throttle or so. Motor cut completely to one side. He went through the hull. For someone who has been on the water as long as you have you sure seem hard headed.


Obviously some people aren't reading my posts. I never once said you shouldn't wear your kill switch or that it is a bad idea to wear your kill switch.

I said it is pretty hard to fall out of a boat in normal operation unless you are driving crazy. I also said that an accident (hitting a well head, something submerged, collision,etc) changes that.

Yeah, I have to confess, I've ridden in and even driven dozens of bayboats w numerous different captains, and never remember a single one wearing the kill switch. Just not something we've thought about. Will think about it now.
