Just want to ask everyone to make sure they wear their cords for the kill switch. I was in a river channel yesterday and hit a stump. I was thrown out of the boat and WAS NOT wearing the kill cord. The boat turned several circles with me hanging on the side before I could get it shut off. I'll never operate a boat again without wearing this safety device and I hope all of you will learn from my mistake. I was in 60' of water and the water temp was 44 degrees. I did have my life vest on, but was very lucky the boat or propeller did not get me. My wife and children were very close to not having a husband and father, because I didn't use a safety device.
