    Default Wireless kill switches?

    Is anybody running a wireless kill switch like the Fell Marine MOB+ or something similar? I think Garmin just came out with one not long ago also?

    At this point if I die on the Edisto Banks because the 9twenty other beacons I have didn't save me, fuck it...

    It seems to be the go to but there are mixed reviews on THT. Last thing I wanna do is get stranded due to wireless connectivity issues. Is it easy to bypass if the need arises?

    I asked my Yamaha guy about this a few months ago. He said some of them are a pain if you accidentally take the Fob away from the boat, requires re-pairing process before you can get it to start.

    Glad to hear about Fell system. I am interested for fishing solo off the beach etc.

    It was a bit goofy to get used to at first with the pairing after each shutdown but I realized it was user error. Simply click the button on the fob and in business. I got a wrist holder like a watch. I fish a decent bit and more family time than fish. Override is simple as holding the big button in the center of the housing down for 10 sec and you can run the boat. I show everyone before we go offshore. It beeps but boat runs. There's also a total bypass on the back of the housing. Used it a few times pisse off at the sandbar before I got the hang of it.
