Abstract
An improved kill switch assembly is provided for a small watercraft which is powered by an engine and operated by a watercraft control, preferably in the form of a handlebar assembly. The kill switch and its associated actuating button are adapted to be mounted on the watercraft control or handlebar assembly of the watercraft so as to follow an apendage of the operator during operation of the watercraft. In the preferred embodiment, a cord assembly operably connects the actuating button to the operator's arm. The kill switch assembly is designed so that the actuating button is released to stop the engine if the operator falls overboard, but is adapted to greatly reduce the chance of inadvertent release of the actuating button to stop the engine due to the operator's movements while on board the watercraft.
