Re: Wiring a Kill Switch and remote throttle advance
A friend who has recreated period race boat setups
pointed out that they have spring loaded dead man's
throttle and full circle carburetor shutters...when
throttle is released carburetor shutter slams shut
choking engine to stop...safety feature.
Regular carburetor shutter has a cut out to allow
enough air thru for engine to idle.
I have had a Sears Gamefisher made by Mercury/Force
that had a lanyard connecting operator with a pull
out key to "kill" motor if operator fell out or keeled over motor would be shut down.
Probably OSHA inspired.
