Also a great anti-theft device as well. Safety first.

When rigging a boat ALWAYS put the lanyard to the right side!!!! I learned the hard way. Was running down the lake one around 70 mph and the wife was screaming slow down its to rough, so of course I went faster. Layard was mounted left of steering wheel near center of boat. She reached over and yanked it. Well the boat slowed real fast and the water came up the transom, of course at that rpm the motor got pre-ignition and ingested the water.. Lots of bent valves. That was in 1980 so ever since I mount layards where no one else can grab it

I started wearing the lanyard a few years ago after reading forum posts on the internet. Great teaching tool. Thanks for the stories guys, great reinforcement.

This might be a dumb question, but is there a benefit of a wrist lanyard over one that clips to your belt loop, or board shorts? My only issue with my clip on type is I forget it is on and sometimes when I am solo and put a fender out on the port I kill the engines.

12-12-2008 02:43 PMI usually put mine on the shorts or somewhere on my life jacket while underway. Once off plane I take it off.
Throttling and adjusting trim in rough water I was always nervous about the cord possibly getting hung up on something and cutting the engines which could be very dangerous upon re-entry without any power and I didn't want it on my steering arm either. The only time I wear a wrist band is when I'm on a jetski. Different strokes for different folks I guess!
Here's another one.... You have the lanyard on your wrist and a helicopter flys overhead for a photo opp.. You lift your arm over your head and wave to the copter and if the lanyard is too short..... whoops... dead in the water...

used to keep them clipped to my belt loops and was always killing the engines when I move to get something; now I keep them attached to a wrist band
