Olas Marine Olas Guardian multi engine connector

The OLAS Multi Engine Connector (MEC) is a hard-wired interface designed to allow a single OLAS Guardian or OLAS N2K engine shut-off output to control up to three outboard engine kill circuits simultaneously. It is built specifically for multi-outboard installations where all engines must be stopped at the same time in the event of a man overboard (MOB) incident.

The unit works by splitting the single OLAS engine stop output into three paired connections, allowing each outboard engine to retain its own dedicated kill switch circuit while still being linked to one central OLAS trigger. When a MOB event occurs and the system activates, all connected engine circuits are closed at the same time, ensuring immediate and consistent engine shutdown across the vessel.

This provides a reliable way to integrate OLAS safety systems into multi-engine boats without changing existing kill switch setups, while significantly improving emergency response behaviour.

Why choose OLAS Multi Engine Connector:
- The OLAS MEC is designed for boaters operating twin or triple outboard engines who need a reliable way to ensure all engines stop together in an emergency. Standard single-output safety systems can create inconsistency across multiple engines, which is a risk in a man overboard situation.
By linking all kill circuits to one OLAS trigger, the MEC ensures full engine shutdown happens instantly and simultaneously. This helps prevent the vessel from continuing under power and improves the effectiveness of the overall MOB response.
- It is a simple, robust upgrade that allows OLAS Guardian and OLAS N2K systems to integrate cleanly with multi-outboard setups without modifying existing safety practices.
