Good To Know

Q: What is the D.E.S.S. post responsible for? A: It holds the lanyard cap in place so the safety system can read the key and cut the engine if the rider falls.

Q: Will I need to reprogram anything after installing this post? A: No, the post is only a mounting point; your existing lanyard key remains paired to the watercraft.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
