saftey kill switch question

[g1vetter]

My "new to me" boat has a 1992 40hp motor with remote (E40TLENJ)

It doesn't seem to have a Lanyard safety kill switch that I know about. Didn't they typically have that feature in 1992?
The motor starts and runs fine but before I buy a generic kill switch I thought I'd ask if there is something I don't know about this motor.

Can someone that knows describe the operation of and where the kill switch should be located on a 1992 evinrude control.

Perhaps the motor is hooked up to an older control box that did not have that feature.

Could be. I'll attempt to attach a pic or 2.

As you can see, It looks like the remote handle has been switched around to the right side of the control box in order to mount these controls on the right side on my center console. I bet if I took the controls off the console, the safety switch is simply hidden and unusable in this configuration.

Watta you think?

They appear to me to be more modern controls. With the BRP logo. Sorry I cant say if or where the lanyard would be attached though.

Some of the pics I've found online of similar controls show the lanyard clip attaching around the key but if mine were that way and the lanyard clip is not there, it wouldn't run would it? I looked closely at the key switch and don't see any way a lanyard would attach there.

Pull the control box. Mine is that vintage and the dead man switch is on the left side and would be covered up if mounted to the right side of a console itself and not on the boat itself.
