Abstract
A push button safety switch. A pair of switch terminals are mounted within a housing which also carries a plunger for movement relative to the housing. The plunger is biased for movement along a path of travel by a compressed spring. A push button actuator has a knob for contact by user and a plunger actuator carried by the knob. The actuator also defines a stem portion to support a tether clip coupled to the boat operator. The boat motor ignition circuit is electrically connected to the switch terminals and the motor can be de-activated by either user contact with the knob or through movement of the plunger initiated by separation of the tether clip from the push button actuator.
