I replaced the lanyard engine kill switch with something a bit more modern.

Very. It is awesome.Hey foobar
You still happy with your electronic mob cut off? Im gonna install same.
I saw that too. But the wife has been mentioning wanting a dog for the kiddos more frequently lately, so I think I want the expandability.I found the old model for $100 in eBay.
Thanks. That answered my question.@F.M. you can wire it with the existing kill switches still in the link or exclude them. If you keep them in the loop, you would need to put a kill switch cable on the switch at all times on a key chain or something. I wired mine without the stock kill switch. It was easier and unnecessary with the MOB+. Make sure you get the dual engine harness with the MOB+ if you have more than one engine.
FWIW, this is money well spent. I now use my safety lanyard (the MOB+) at all times. Mostly because the engines will not start without it unless you press the manual override button.
Yes, you push the button on the fob on your wrist. If the engines are running, it shuts them down. I show an example in the video above.I meant to ask you, @Foobar, how much do you like the MOB.
I'm curious if there is a manual "override" to stop engines manually while in the boat. For example, if you were thrown out of your seat but did not fall overboard/out, that kind of stuff.
Hypothetically speaking.

I thought about this a bit more. I have the multiple engine harness since I have two engines. The harness will handle 3 engines. That means you could hook up the third to a relay or similar that would cut power to the trolling motor on the third set of wires. That relay would be powered (on/off) by 12v but switch power for 24v/36v leads. You would have to get a relay that does this many volts and could handle the amps across the main circuit as well. You would also have to shut the engines down via the keys for the MOB+ circuit to stay open for the trolling motor so you could close it via the fob.Thanks for getting back to me. I asked the question because while I was fishing, my dog decided it was time for me to jump in. Using the remote while in the water wasn't easy. Made me think I should have a better system. At least it's waterproof.
I talked with Minn Kota about trying to tie into their system, and they didn't recommend that, but rather I use a relay to break the battery connection. I think I found a relay that will work, but it's not cheap.
