[QUOTE="great white, post: 364922, member: 6238"] Put something like this in the power line: https://www.amazon.ca/Minn-Kota-Trolling-Motor-Plug/dp/B001PTHKSA/ref=pd_sim_auto_1/187-8951563-9262732?ie=UTF8&refRID=0FQ97BQR5HY7E620BKSR You can find the same thing on eBay pretty cheaply. Just not pretty black. They use them for everything from winch motors to forklifts. Just get one rated for your amperage load. Anchor one side of the plug to the motor/boat/mount/etc. Tie a small rope to the free end of the connector and the other end to yourself somewhere. I suggest a clip on the human side so you can ditch it quickly if needed. Fall out and the rope yanks the plug or you can at lest grab the rope and try to yank the plug. That it in a nutshell. How fancy you make it is up to you. Same idea on an outboard except the kill "clip" usually just grounds out the ignition and kills the spark. [/QUOTE]
