Which switch is actuated when the boat lists at 90 degrees or more?

The roll over switch is specifically designed to activate when the boat lists at 90 degrees or more. This switch plays a critical safety role by triggering an alert or activating safety features to prevent further hazards in the event of a significant roll. In such circumstances, the risk of water intrusion, fuel leaks, and other dangers increases dramatically, which is why the roll over switch is engineered to respond to extreme angles.

This activation helps ensure that the boat’s systems can react appropriately to potential emergencies, thereby enhancing the safety of the vessel and its occupants. Other switches, such as the engine kill switch or fuel pump switch, have different functions related to engine operation or fuel management but are not specifically designed to respond to the boat's orientation in the way that the roll over switch is. The power distribution switch manages electrical power to systems on the boat but does not specifically address the situation of rolling or listing.
