Good idea. However, wouldn't an improperly seated or disengaged safety
lanyard clip result in no power to the engine, including to the starter?
ILUVMYBOAT stated that the starter engages and tries to turn over the
engine. Am I correct on this?


I don't know on I/O's. I know that on the outboards I've had, the engine
turns over, but because there is no ignition power, it won't start.

In fact .... come to think of it ... isn't an electric fuel pump supposed
to be powered through an oil pressure switch or something?

It's been a while since I had an I/O.

My I/O would turn over but not start.
