Universal Boat Kill Switch Lanyard with Seven Keys — Outboard/PWC Tether
Product description
Universal seven-key kill switch: This kit supplies one lanyard with seven interchangeable plastic keys designed to match common outboard and PWC ignition cut-off fittings. The assortment aims to cover Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu, Johnson, Evinrude and Suzuki style switches.
Safety function: The tether is intended for engine emergency shutoff — when the key is pulled free, the ignition is interrupted, the motor slows and stops, helping prevent uncontrolled craft movement and reducing the chance of accidents.
Construction and materials: The cord is made from PU for flexibility and light weight. The clip and key heads are plastic to avoid rusting and corrosion that metal clips can suffer. The keys are attached on a single coil-mounted loop.
Use and compatibility: Good as a replacement or backup when uncertain of the exact key profile your switch uses; users can remove unused key blanks if desired. Package includes one seven-key boat kill switch lanyard.

Matched my MasterCraft ignition
One of the included keys fit the cut-off on our 2007 MasterCraft X15. Hard to source elsewhere. I clipped off the unused keys to stop them rattling. The coiled cord feels a little short if the seat is up, but it seems workable.

Two sizes fit my motor; how I trimmed the rest
I found two of the plastic keys fit my Suzuki 6hp. To keep extras out of the way I cut the non-fitting keys from the loop with strong wire cutters, careful not to nick the coil. The plastic pieces cut easily but may not last forever.

Good replacement leash
This matched our 2021 Suzuki and replaced an UV-damaged leash. I trimmed a few extras off since they got in the way. The clip is plastic so it won’t corrode like older metal clips.
