    I stay on all my buddies about wearing theirs. If you don’t like the red slinky cord, get a piece of paracord, put it on the switch, carabiner on the far end, and clip it to your britches, waders, etc. too easy not to do, and could save yours and someone else’s life

    I won't be surprised when they mandate seatbelts in the boat.

    I have a Velcro “bracelet” from a ski rope tie on the Jonboat. Comfortable and secure

    A kill switch, saved me when I got tossed out of a boat once. Lifejacket and kill switch are mandatory in La for 16' tiller controlled boats. Not a bad idea.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    I'm not putting one on my trolling motor.


    I also think engine refers to gas or Diesel.

    Motor as in trolling motor refers to electric, IMHO.

    I don't like to talk about the government on here.. but this ranks up there with the seat belt law and the entire premise of the cwp.
