Another drowning...

He got thrown out, and didn't have his lanyard attached.

Just cuz you have a badge doesn't mean your not a dumbass.

Probably by the wake from another Donzi. (Irony)

4 Men in a 10ft flat bottom plus alcohol and no life jackets, I am surprised only one is dead. 4 grown men in my Nitro 700 would sink it. My boat says 4 persons or 450lbs when was the last time you saw 4 men who's total weight was 450lbs? I can only guess the weight limit of a 10ft flat bottom?

I believe it was sixth grade.

Thought you had a Triton? Did you ever resolve your motor issues?

Max weight capacity= 380lbs. for a 1036 Jon boat. (That is persons/motor/gear)

I friend / mechanic showed me a trick with the lanyard that I use habitually. Simply make a loop with the end and put my throttle hand through the loop. easy on, easy off. Hopefully Ill never find out how well it works....

The wrist loop trick really isn't advisable. If you are going to do THAT then it's best to buy/make a Velcro bracelet for the lanyard.

Depending on the angle of pull, a simple loop will slide right off your wrist.

Just clip it right on your life vest and that solves both problems

I ordered new life jackets & a new kill switch.

Hopefully that will be a good enough reminder for me.

You can never be too safe.
