If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.
If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.
Disconnect the negative battery cable with a wrench.
Repeat the quick connector attachment process with the remaining (cut) end of the ignition wire and the remaining wire from the kill switch. [links]
Insert one of the wires from the kill switch and one of the cut ends of the ignition wire into opposite ends of a quick-connector and crimp the connector closed with the pliers. The wire does not have to be stripped as the metal tabs inside the "quick-connector" are designed to pierce the insulation when the connector is crimped onto the wire with the pliers, establishing the connection. more
Insert the kill switch into the hole in the console, from the back side, and secure in place by screwing the attachment ring onto the threads of the kill switch bracket. Tighten the attachment ring in place with the pliers. [links]
The previous owner had disconnected the wires behind the dash. I'm missing the lanyard and 2" plastic. Bayliner should carry it alone without the elec. switch. I need to have it there and I'm leery of using it. There could be a much greater chance of the motor cutting out with 5 people onboard than being alone ,falling overboard and not wearing the dog leash. Or I should just wear it when I'm alone! here
If itz the same as 1989 Bayliner, it is 1/4" by 2"long piece of plastic. All it does is keep the contacts apart. If your is the same, you'll need to find out why it aint killing the engine (proly disconnected underneath the dash?).<br />You could prbably make one outta 1/4" wood dowel and a short doggy leash, but most Bayliner,Cobra,Trophy dealers will have it in stock.<br />My lanyard about killed my brother,and when he re-surfaced,he ripped it off his wrist and threw it as far as he could. Then,in a fit of anger), he reached under the dash and yanked the wires off the switch (he had a viscious temper). I haven't had the heart to hook it back up. more
I understand,Sony. I personally feel it's a "safety trade-off". When it comes to wearing it,danged if u do, and danged if u dont. It could take or save you life, and as for me, wouldn't wear it unless mandated by the gestapo (like the beloved seatbelt).<br /><br />Wearing one allmost killed my brother,and would have if he were allone.<br />But the guy who's boat ended-up on the beach running did die from bypassing it.<br /><br />I guess if the gestapo insists you wear one, it narrows your freedom of choice down,and I am sorry to hear about that.<br /><br />Yes, Bayliner,Trophy,Cobra and some others I can'rt recall are all made by the same manufacturer, so if you find a dealer locally for any one of these boats, he should be able to hook you up. here
For 12Footer, Let me first express my appreciation for the many fine bits of advice you've provided in this forum. I'm a little confused though at your reluctunce to use the kill switch. My lanyard is attached to my PFD which I wear whenever my big motor is running. I don't see how it could cause a problem. Could you please explain?

The '96 and later Johnson and Evinrude controls have a lanyard clip that physically turns the key to the OFF position when pulled. That also helps if the driver is thrown out of the boat, the passenger can start the engine and pick him up.<br /><br />Without the lanyard attached, it is sometimes hard to start the motor with the key pushed in to "choke" it; if you let go of the key quickly, sometimes it bounces to the OFF position.
Re: Johnson outboard kill switch [links]
Delta Dog,<br /> I'm not sure about your particular motor.Near the powerpack,there may be a single black w/yellow stripe wire with connector.Make sure it is connected.A dis-connected wire here could cause what you described. [links]
disagree. i've been in several center consoles and bow riders (including my own), and all ran fine without the kill-switch lanyard being used. if i used the lanyard and pulled it, it did shut off the engine like designed. it's not the recommended operation to not use it, but it works and may people do it. maybe there are different types of kill-switches, but i doubt it. just replace the lanyard and test. more
