Cool product

I was interested in the product because the kill switch on my boat is located in such a position that the line gets hung up on the throttle or even on the seat corner. It’s also so low that sometimes it would just kill the engine just because the loop on the line would rotate and push the switch down.

You can have additional fobs for passengers. This is nice to give the driver extra warning when they fall off the boat during operation or even at anchor. Also great for young kids if they stray too far from the boat on the docks or fall off when the parents might be distracted.

My wife liked that a passenger fob could have a panic button to kill the engine should the driver pass out and get hung up on the wheel such that they are unable to get to the throttle in time. I am a big guy so it would be easier for her to just hit the button.

This product certainly doesn’t make good old fashion boating safety practices obsolete but it does give one other options to enhance their safety on the water.
