It would be attached to the person driving the boat.
It's not long enough.
That's a tiny boat.
It's not long enough to get to the next person.
Well, it's a certain distance away from the motor and from where the kill switch is attached.
Let's say the kill switch lanyard is three feet.
If the boat operator goes four feet away, it turns off automatically.
On a boat that size does not make a difference, but if you're, let's say you're operating your 25-foot Boston Whaler and you're at the helm and you walk toward the front of the boat, it's going to kill.
That happens all the time.
That's why a lot of people don't actually turn, they don't wear them because if they leave the helm, it's going to kill the motor.
On a little boat like that, there's really not that much distance, but still, if it's only a three feet, most of these lines are only two to three feet long.
That boat, the person not driving the boat isn't wearing it.
It's only the person wearing the boat who wears it.
I can't imagine why somebody else would wear it.
It would unplug.
