Default Kill Switch

To all the hunters & fishermen
Ever wonder what happens when you fall out of a boat (gator tail) with no kill switch
ALWAYS HOOK UP YOUR KILL SWITCH WHILE IN A BOAT!

My uncle showed me that pic a few weeks ago. U never know what could happen. I don't have a kill switch on my go devil. Its a 12 ft fiberglass pirogue with a 13hp. U sit down while u drive it and we don't go very far is the only reason I haven't rigged one up yet. But my buddies stand up and don't have kill switches. We need to all get em.

That sounds like a lot of HP for a 12' pirogue.......get a kill switch.

I have a 12' [32" ?] Al boat with a 6 hp Godevil......and wear the kill switch. I am usually alone and it rides ok.....2 people and it is slow.
