Kill Switch on Older Boat?

[aaarneson]

Can you add a kill switch to an older boat? Like the kind that attached to your life vest and if pulled out the boat shuts off.

I was looking at this ad:

And wanted to know if there are any after market products that can be installed?

Thanks

Sorry for what seems to be a silly question.

Is Kill switches only for OB motors. Can an I/O have some sort of kill switch if the driver falls out of the boat in motion and is the only person on board.

all boats and personal water craft have them,,after a certain year and size,, standard equipment,,from what I understand.
Mine does not have one,,so I met the owner of autoteather at the RI boat show and he hooked me up with safety sytem and gear to make it work.

You would probably have to drill a hole in the cowl to accept the switch but it can be done.
