wireless lanyard that offers enchanced safety and freedom to the operator and other on board!
Why Autotether
More Freedom:
When you're on the water you want to be free to move about. You can't do that with a hard-wired kill switch because you are "chained" to your boat's ignition
Less hassle:
It's too easy for old-fashioned kill switch cords to get tangled or caught
No surprises:
Having your engine make an unexpected stop at high speed because you accidentally disconnected you hard-wired cord from your boat's ignition is a dangerous condition, you have none of this with Autotether™
No headaches:
Hooking and unhooking yourself from your boat's ignition is a headache; you have none of this with Autotether™
No time wasted:
When you want to change operators, there's no more lengthy transitions or annoying stops - simply pass him/her your Autotether™
Better Safety:
Hard-wired kill switches protect ONLY the operator; not so with Autotether™ which protects others onboard as well (one transmitter can serve up to a maximum of four sensors)

AUTOTETHER™ wireless lanyard system is an innovation in boating safety equipment
that every boater should have! Unlike traditional lanyard kill switches
that come standard with boats and require the operator to be tethered to
the boat, the AUTOTETHER™ boating safety device is an unobtrusive wireless
unit that clips right into the emergency stop switch (kill switch). It
operates via a radio transmitter in a personal sensor worn by a person or
pet that sends radio waves to a receiver connected to the boat’s emergency
stop switch. When the sensor is submerged in water, the signal between
the transmitter and the receiver is instantly broken, because radio waves
do not travel through water. AUTOTETHER™ activates the emergency stop switch
which stops the boat’s motor. For added safety, should the operator
or a passenger notice a potential danger, he or she can push the red alert
button AUTOTETHER™ on the sensor to sound an alarm and stop the boat.
AUTOTETHER™ can accommodate a total of four wireless sensors – one
for the boat operator and three for additional passengers, including children
and pets. Any passenger wearing the sensor who falls overboard will
signal the boat to stop with the sound of an alarm.
AUTOTETHER™ is easy to install. It clips right to the boat’s
emergency stop switch (kill switch). The clip is connected via a short,
coiled wire to a receiver that is mounted on the boat’s dashboard using
3M advanced dual lock strips. No wiring or tools are required. The
system is self-powered via inexpensive AAA batteries, which are supplied
with the kit. They can provide up to 150 hours of service. An
indicator light on the transmitter illuminates when it is time to change
the batteries. (Battery life is dependent upon individual boater system
usage.)
