The switches are really great, in many years of boating, only pulled it once (as I went overboard) But DO NOT give them to passengers. If you happens to come out, and you coast away about 1/4 mile, you'll need to go back and rescue them. While you're fumbling around looking for the cap to restart, you may loose you're overboard passenger.

Here is a copy of hte text from CP Performance web site.
This is the ONLY switch to run IMHO
It could allow you or a passenger to restart the boat without hte lanyard.
I have the KS-22 in my boat for hte twin emgine use.
single is 19 bucks twin is 22 bucks
CHEAP insurance
Part No. : 855-KS-2 Category Brand Name
Electrical - Kill Switches T & H Marine
Saf-T-Stop Cut Off Switch - Single I/O with Coiled Lanyard
For all inboard/outboard, inboard, dual inboard/outboard and dual inboard installations. Meets requirments of existing law covering mandatory use of emergency stop switches. Extra strong cloth covered self-retracting lanyard. Black matte finish for attractive appearance. Mounts in a 1-1/2'' diameter hole. Overall dimensions of switch housing are 2-3/4'' x 2'' and requires 1-1/2'' behind panel. Dual engine switches provide two completely isolated circuits to prevent feedback from on engine to the other.

I just bought one from here http://www.boatfix.com/ It was under $20 as I recall. It is sitting here on my table. Now if I could only get the boat back from the mechanic, I could install it.
