It can save your.......

I was fishing in a tournament yesterday with a good friend. We was in his boat. Toward the end of the day, we were going to fish one more spot very close to the check in. As we approached two huge rip rap walls that basicly meets at a 90 degree angle, the hot foot throttle sticks at 60 mph. He had to make a hard right hand turn and that almost flipped the boat and came closer to throwing us out. The only thing that saved us from getting hurt or killed was the kill switch. The point of this is: Wear your life jacket and ALWAYS have the kill switch attached!!! Please do not take it for granted! I have never been so happy to see my wife and kids when I got home.

By the way, there was something that had wedged in the hot foot while we were traveling that would not let it come back to the idle position. An easy fix, but it sure scared the crap out of me!
