Occasional stiffness in the clip mechanism is noted by some users. Ensuring the clip and mating receiver on the ignition switch are clean and free of debris can significantly improve ease of attachment and detachment.
How long will this replacement lanyard last?
The lanyard is constructed with durable materials for marine environments. However, like all safety components subjected to regular use and environmental exposure, wear and tear are expected over time, necessitating periodic inspection and eventual replacement.
