A dead-man cord, a whistle, and a float—three essentials rolled into one tidy strap that clips straight onto any Yamaha helm (all boat models except WaveRunners). The coiled nylon line stretches when you stand, retracts when you sit, and terminates in a molded safety key that pops the ignition the instant you’re separated from the helm. On the other end, a soft EVA float keeps the whole assembly bobbing at the surface, so a dropped cord doesn’t disappear into the cockpit well.
What makes it a smart upgrade
Built-in whistle – molded into the float for quick distress signals or friendly dock calls.
Floating design – buoyant core keeps key, clip, and cord visible and within reach.
Universal Yamaha fit – plugs directly into the stop-switch of all Yamaha boats (excluding WaveRunners).
Tangle-free coil – durable, UV-stable nylon stretches to full arm length, then springs back.
Easy clip-off – stainless split ring lets you add ignition keys or a spare locker key.
Slip it on your wrist, clip in, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing safety—and a quick blast for attention—is always a reach away.
