Autotether Kill Switch Lanyard

Most power boaters never think about wearing their kill switch.  When on the lake, the only drivers that I usually see wearing a kill switch are bass boaters and jet skiers.  In reality, we should all wear one when on the water.  We always hear those stories of a captain falling off of his boat and his boat just either driving off and crashing or driving in a circle, if he would have been wearing his kill switch, the boat would have immediately stopped.

This is not a new piece of technology, its just something that I have recently found.  Its called the Autotether. Its an electronic and wireless solution to your kill switch.  It involves two parts, the host and the FOB.  The host is attached to your helm and to your kill switch.  The FOB is attached to your life jacket or your belt loop.  If you fall overboard and the FOB on your life jacket or belt loop gets wet, it will send a signal to the host unit and pull your kill switch with in 1.5 seconds.
