Annapolis Boat Show (Wireless Lanyard)
 

I was at the boat show yesterday and a guy has developed a wireless lanyard that shuts the engines off if the remote get wet. It uses the factory kill switch.
I will put his web site on here when I find his card that is in all of my boat show information.

888-593-4181 He said his web site would be up in a couple of weeks.
Basically you put the remote in your pocket. If you get thrown overboard it shuts the engines down.

I believe the link should be: http://www.autotether.com/

Cool idea, just not sure I'd want to depend on a wireless remote to possibly save my life. :D

I guess you just hope you land in the water,not the bank:eek:

:rolleyes:What happens if you slosh your beverage or it starts a downpour or you take one over the bow???????????:(

Inside the AUTOTETHER™ sensor is a transmitter that sends radio waves to a receiver connected to your boat’s ignition. Should the operator or a passenger wearing the AUTOTETHER™ sensor fall overboard, the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is broken (radio waves do not travel through water).
