Re: A Graphic Reminder To ALWAYS Attach The Kill Switch!
Also check all external parts on a regular basis no matter how new the boat is! Motor vibration, rough water and trailer time on the roads have a tendency to loosen things, a quick once over every few trips could have prevented this, luckily they were wearing their PFD's and kill switch attached.
