About this deal

If you discover you have the cheap, “plastic only” sort I recommend disposing of it and buying one with the inner string. Most kill cord designs are prone to UV damage if left in the sun. For this reason I keep mine with the RIB keys ashore rather than leaving it connected and on board the RIB when the boat is out of use. This needs replacing as it will not tighten and grip around the wearer’s leg. ICCChris: It’s a course that I have wanted to do for a while as a sailor with access to RIBS, as it gives you an understanding of using powerboats but more importantly, for me, access to an Most manufacturers of sportsboats and RIBs powered by inboard engines also choose to fit them. Why is that?

OEM part number used for reference only. The item is completely compatible and interchangeable with the OEM. Launching and recovery, boat handling, securing to a buoy, anchoring, leaving and coming alongside, man overboard Firstly your crew should be equally aware as you to the importance of this device so that if you as helm/skipper forget to wear it they can remind you. Secondly you can make life easier for your self by wrapping it around the wheel or handle bars when you take it off, so that when you re start the engine it can not be forgotten. Wearing a kill cord is not dissimilar to wearing a seat belt, for the most part you will never need it but if the things go wrong, its benefits far outweigh the few second lost in putting it on. Emma: Just do it. You’d be surprised what you can achieve in just two days. The course is full on but loads of fun and you’ll come away with loads of new skills. James: I loved that the course was very practical and even when you’re not driving the boat you are always busy helping the driver and learning from the instructor.Up to 15 transmitters allows larger vessel to connect crew and objects to the Guardian. Simply by attaching a transmitter to object such as a MOB flotation device or yacht tender you can always be aware if something has gone missing.

Remember when testing the kill cord you are testing functionality, not to destruction. They are designed that simply pulling the kill cord from the kill switch should stop the engine (either by hand, or moving away from the helm position. The kill cord should break away at approximately 30lb/15kg of force��

Why are kill cords in the news?

In the UK, to date, there has not been a fatality recorded where one of the causes has been a kill cord or switch failure. The sad fact remains that more accidents could be prevented if helms remembered to use the kill cord. �

A dead man's switch is a switch that is designed to be activated or deactivated if the human operator becomes incapacitated, such as through death, loss of consciousness, or being bodily removed from control. Originally applied to switches on a vehicle or machine, it has since come to be used to describe other intangible uses, as in computer software. Cons: There was an equally high-profile accident in which one person was killed during a customer sea trial of a RIB at the Southampton Boat Show in 2000 but that didn’t change behaviour enough to prevent the recent Padstow accident. How long before the memory of this fades, too? What does MBY think?

What are kill cords?

Interest in dead man's controls increased with the introduction of electric trams (streetcars in North America) and especially electrified rapid transit trains. The first widespread use came with the introduction of the mass-produced Birney One-Man Safety (tram) Car, though dead-man equipment was fairly rare on US streetcars until the successful PCC streetcar, which had a left-foot-operated dead man's pedal in conjunction with the right-foot-operated brake and power pedals. This layout has continued to be used on some modern trams around the world. In conventional steam railroad trains, there was always a second person with the engineer, the fireman, who could almost always bring the train to a stop if necessary. [2] For many decades two people were assigned to electric and diesel locomotives as well, even though a single person could theoretically operate them. In 2019, the Garmin G3000 became the first general aviation avionics suite capable of automatically diverting an aircraft to the nearest airport and landing it in the event a pilot fails to interact with the aircraft's controls or respond to system prompts. This automation capability has been made possible by advancements in computing, control, and navigation technologies and is of particular importance in a general aviation setting since private aircraft are often flown by only a single pilot.

Of course it is essential to wire the kill-switch correctly into the motor electrical system, which can be a bit confusing, especially as the wiring on one outboard motor can look different to the wiring on another. By explaining the principals of operation, and showing a couple of examples we hope to make life a bit easier if you are trying to install (or replace) a kill-switch yourself. How does a kill-switch it work? (the normally open-circuit type) The kill cord works fine if people use them, so you should make it a legal requirement for the helmsperson to wear it. External Alarm and rescue aidMaximum volume alarm and vibration on your mobile phone, synchronized with the Guardian. Alternatively the wheel, throttle or even a combination of the two could be fitted with an electrical sensor that would trigger the cut-out switch if neither one was touched for more than a few seconds. Although no engine manufacturer would openly admit it, the most compelling reason is likely to be the threat of litigation.The most popular response on our forum on the basis that horrendous as these accidents are, they are few and far between. This type of kill-cord installation works on the principal of shorting out the ignition to the spark plugs. Other types of installation work on the alternative principal of turning off the ignition circuit.
