Kill Switch Lanyards - USCG Reg

[WaterZebra]

This was the first year for mandatory kill switch lanyards (USCG). Anybody see someone getting written up for not having one?

I had not seen this question until now.
I generally wear the lanyard, it is required at most of the events I attend.
But for me I do not rally consider it important since I run with a foot throttle so the boat comes to idle if I ever get out of position.

I thought we figured out lanyards aren't required... but if the boat has one, you have to wear it (boats under 26').

I guess it applies to factory installed swithes on engines and boats? If it does, this will be hard to enforce.
