Performance & Practical Benefits

The 823054Q stop switch lanyard gives you the peace of mind that comes with a reliable emergency cutoff. Should you fall or move unexpectedly away from the tiller, the engine stops immediately, preventing your boat from running unmanned.

The coiled design stretches for easy movement and stays tangle-free, while the bright color makes it easy to find in a hurry. It’s an inexpensive but vital piece of safety gear that every operator should have attached before starting the motor.

Why Choose OEM

Mercury’s OEM safety lanyards are made with corrosion-resistant materials and tested for strength, flexibility, and reliability in real marine environments. Aftermarket versions often fade, crack, or lose elasticity after a single season.

A genuine Quicksilver lanyard fits perfectly and lasts longer, providing the same dependable safety that Mercury builds into every outboard.
