OEM and Cross Reference Numbers

This style of Johnson/Evinrude tether has appeared under several OEM and aftermarket part numbers. These numbers are useful when searching older parts diagrams or identifying the correct replacement for an existing safety lanyard.

What This Part is Used For

The safety tether is part of the boat's engine cut-off switch system. The clip end attaches to the compatible Johnson/Evinrude cut-off switch while the tether is attached to the operator.

If the operator moves far enough away from the helm, the tether pulls the clip from the engine cut-off switch. The switch can then interrupt engine operation.

A missing, damaged or incorrect tether can prevent the engine cut-off system from being used as intended, making the safety lanyard an important item to keep in good condition and available whenever the boat is operated.

Older Johnson and Evinrude Cap and Lanyard Numbers

Older Johnson and Evinrude parts diagrams may identify this component as a Cap and Lanyard rather than simply a tether or safety lanyard.

Common older numbers include 392288 / 0392288 and 393079 / 0393079. Parts references show these older cap-and-lanyard applications crossing to the later 432230 / 0432230 lanyard and clip assembly.

Pro Marine 2888 provides an aftermarket replacement option for these compatible Johnson and Evinrude engine cut-off switch applications.

Why an Engine Cut-Off Tether is Important

The engine cut-off tether is designed to connect the operator to the engine's safety switch while the boat is underway.

When properly connected to a compatible switch, the tether allows the engine cut-off system to respond if the operator is unexpectedly moved away from the control position.

Because the tether is frequently exposed to sunlight, heat, moisture and repeated stretching, it should be inspected periodically and replaced when damaged or deteriorated.

When Should a Safety Tether Be Replaced?

Inspect the tether periodically, particularly on older boats and remote controls.

Replacement should be considered if you notice:

• A missing tether or safety clip
• A cracked, damaged or distorted switch clip
• A tether that no longer stays securely attached
• Damage caused by prolonged sun or weather exposure
• A cut, stretched or badly worn tether
• A weakened or damaged attachment point
• An incorrect tether that does not properly engage the cut-off switch

Replacement and Safety Tips

• Compare the replacement tether with the original before use.
• Make sure the clip fully engages the engine cut-off switch.
• Verify the engine starts and operates normally with the tether installed.
• Verify the engine cut-off system operates according to the manufacturer's procedure.
• Inspect the tether regularly for cracking, stretching or weather damage.
• Do not modify the tether or safety-switch clip.
• Replace an incorrect or poorly fitting tether rather than forcing it onto the switch.
