Safety: The Autotether Wireless Kill Switch Lanyard

Source: Autotether

Safety systems on a boat are only as good as the user who activates them.  I will admit I am guilty of motoring away from the dock without my kill switch lanyard attached.  Maybe I assume I will always have the opportunity to attach it if things get precarious or maybe I just forget altogether as I am racing to my secret honey hole.  For myself I find it easier to “remember” things if I make them impossible (or nearly so) to forget.  The Autotether is one of those type products, by making it nearly impossible to forget to attach your lanyard.  It just clips around your kill switch just like your standard lanyard and will kill the engine if you unexpectedly leave your craft.  But wait, there is more; you can attach sensors to passengers and it will alert you (via sound alarm) if they go overboard.  The sensors can also transmit at up to 150 feet; so if you have a dingy or something in tow, you’ll be alerted if you need more practice with your knot tying.  They unit is self contained and can be moved from boat to boat.  The Autotether can also get you a discount on your boaters insurance through select providers.  The product also comes with a 30 day money back guarantee.
