#431218 - 08/23/08 12:26 PM Carry a spare VP safety lanyard?
firecadet613 Serenity Again Admiral Registered: 07/16/06 Posts: 1143 Loc: Brownsburg, IN	I noticed last night that the safety lanyard on my VP is a lot different than that on my Merc, which could be run without the lanyard in place. Do you carry a spare VP lanyard on your boat? I'm tempted to pick one up and just have an extra on board incase it goes missing. _________________________ 2004 Four Winns 225 Sundowner 5.7Gi DP 2004 Dodge Durango Limited HEMI AWD
