The FO1518 offers dual-circuit wiring for either ignition‑kill or magneto‑kill setups, a compact mounting footprint, and a bright floating buoy to help recover the lanyard after use. Rated at 5A for 12V DC, it installs inline with your ignition and comes with the connectors and hardware you need to get started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kill switch stop my engine quickly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FO1518 interrupts the ignition circuit immediately when the lanyard is pulled, cutting power to the engine.
