The law reads as follows:

Ignition Safety Switch

Alabama law requires that vessels that are less than 24 feet in length, have an open cockpit, and are powered by more than 50 horsepower, be equipped with an ignition safety switch. The lanyard of the switch must be attached to the person, clothing, or PFD of the operator.

We know your vessel is less than 24 feet. Is the motor MORE than 50 HP? I assume the answer is YES.

As you stated, " the lanyard of the switch was attached to the PFD of the operator that was on the seat ". I guess an aspiring attorney like you Woof Woof could argue, "Your honor, It does not state you have to be wearing the PFD".
