I’ll let you know if someone tries to give me a ticket on the Canal. It’s about the only place I take the boat any more.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

If I’m not, they’ll be putting the cuffs on me. I’m not going gently into that good night.

I've been in a runaway boat situation. It sucked to say the least! I now use the lanyard quite often, and when the trolling motor comes up and the big motor goes down, life vests mandatory.

I have the bubblegum on in my shop during the day to fight the tediousness of my craft. After 36 years it's become tedious and not a lot fun. I like to watch reruns of old shows like Barney Miller, This Old House etc.

here is what  I received  from  :Oliver Robinson Jr.
Marine Services Representative

New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
Marine Services Bureau
Albany, NY 12238
ON KILL SWITCH :
 Any vessel built that does not have an engine cut-off switch before January 2021 is grandfathered in.
 You do not have to retrofit the motor unless you want to.
 However if you do have a vessel with a kill switch or engine cut-off, then you must have that in use when the
  vessel is on plane.

I asked this Question:   to help  myself and anyone understand  this new law more clearly

It doesn't matter.  If you fish around us you'd know stuff like this is unenforceable.  Heck 99% of the time we don't get boarded by the coast guard even when they are always out patrolling.  Certainly no epo's looking either.

I've had my boater education certificate for like 5 years now, never, ever been asked to produce it here in NH where it's mandatory. Even when I've been checked on the lake for my fishing license. And my boat is kinda a battlewagon with an old school 2 stroke V6, you'd think I would fit the profile of someone that should be checked.

I have although been yelled at for being on my phone while at headway speed. I thought they were kidding- nope! Very much not kidding!

Never seen guys so against a boating law that may save their life! My tiller motor and trolling motor both have kill switches on them.My big motor I had to get a new lanyard for the factory installed switch.Merc 60 hp 1998. My Johnson 4 hp 1978 has the factory kill switch on it.This law is for the larger motor when on plane or faster.I stopped by the CG Station her and was told that the lanyard must be attached to you  and you would
get a warning for the first time and next time a ticket.
