An engine kill switch system (10) has a transmitter (12) and receiver (14) which are linked through specific transmitted codes within a frequency. The receiver (14) is mounted directly on the boat and wired to an engine kill switch (10), maintaining the switch (10) in the closed position as long as a signal is received from all of the activated transmitters (12). Once the transmitter signal is unintentionally deactivated, the receiver (14) shuts down the engine. A range adjustment (20) allows the separation distance between the transmitter (12) and receiver (14) to be changed, dependent upon the size of the boat and end use. A strobe and audio warning (22) can also be attached to the receiver (14) and activated simultaneously with the deactivation of the engine. The transmitter (12) has a programmed unique code recognized by the receiver (14). The system (10) can also be used as an antitheft device simply by removal of one transmitter (12), thereby rendering the engine inoperable.
