glad to hear that youre okay. I have an older model tiller handle that does not have a kill switch setup for a lanyard, therefore I am exempt from the law requiring kill lanyards.. but I have always felt very uneasy about not having one. Does anyone know of a way to rig one up on a pull start tiller? I also make everyone who rides in my boat wear the big nasty orange life vests, because the others usually dont turn you right side up if you become unconscious. They hate it, but they will thank me when we inevitably hang up on something in the water.
