    Diagram of kill switch

    Gentlemen who are required to use kill switches in their boats. Now could anyone who knows how to make kill switches print a diagram of a kill switch. Now it would be appreciated a lot, thank you! When you get time will be fine.

    I'm not able to load a picture at this time but, not so much a switch but, a safety loop is used by all in Europe and Australia in order to kill power to the electronics quickly and safely without removing the canopy.

    It's not liked in NA because people are more critical of I squared R losses in high power setups.

      Here's a couple of pics that might help.
      Note. use cable at least as large as the battery or ESC wires, & as short as possible. We also cut the wires shorter on the ESC & batteries where ever possible, to help eliminate additional losses as well.
      Also use good low resistance bullets, 5.5mm or larger.
      Simply epoxy the wooden block under the deck & epoxy the two female bullets into it, with the wires already soldered into the bullets.
      If your original question refers to an electrical circuit, the loop is simply set up to be in series with the batteries' positive wire & the ESC's positive wire.
      Cheers.
      Paul.
