[QUOTE="GrumMan, post: 82333, member: 1305"] I know most would disagree with me, and probably correctly so from a safety standpoint, but I guess I'm old school. The motor I have now is the first I've ever owned with a kill switch. I can't stand the dang thing! Not sure if something is wrong, but the only way to shut the motor off is to pull the kill switch, must be installed to start the motor. Real pain the @$$! I'd like to bypass it. In 35 year's of JB's, I've never fallen out on purpose, never knew anyone who did in a town where there is practicaly 1 or 2 JB's in every yard. Just use common sense! Don't jump barge roller's, (don't ask how I know this LOL) don't go where the waves are so high you'd get bucked outa the boat, and don't do "Bat turns." [/QUOTE]
