HUDSON RIVER HAPPENINGS & INTERCLUB INFORMATION EXCHANGE

Compiled by the HRBYCA          https://hrbyca.org

May 1, 2021  (v2021.05.01)

Gov Affairs and other river related topics

The following three points summarize the new Engine Cut Off Switch (ECOS) law:

  • Effective April 1, 2021, operators of certain vessels under 26 feet long MUST use either a helm or outboard lanyard or wireless ECOS when traveling on plane or above displacement speed.
  • Boats manufactured January 2020 or later MUST have a functioning lanyard-style ECOS installed at the helm or on an outboard engine or have a functioning wireless ECOS device AND the vessel operator MUST wear it.
  • Operators of boats manufactured before January 2020 MUST use an ECOS device—provided it is installed and functional.

The new law exempts the following boats:

  • Boats whose main helm is located in an enclosed cabin.
  • Boats not operating on plane or at displacement speed.
  • Boats engaged in low-speed activities such as docking and fishing.
  • Boats that produce less than 115 pounds of static thrust, roughly equivalent to a 2-horsepower engine
