Fascinating! Perhaps widely known....but for me, this was new technology. And now I understand why you mounted this FOB at the bottom of your Mustang vest. Thank you!
Thank you Jack for watching and yes this is an awesome safety equipment especially when you are alone in the boat captain thanks for watching and have an awesome day
Absolutely necessary for anyone boating alone! Thank you for always wearing your pfd in all your vids demonstrating safe boating. Another great video! 👍🏻
Thank you Captain and yes safety is number one on the water. It's nice to be in the water but it could be our worst enemy also so we need to protect ourselves with personal flotation device and every other type of electronic to help us
I have a tip for you. When drilling out a hole, use the 5 minute epoxy you can get from the hardware store. I use a popcicle stick to spread it in tight areas so you don't have so much cleanup. In your application, tape the backside so no runoff and just a thin coat is enough to seal the wood.
Yes I agree by having the autopilot you feel more free to move everywhere around the boat and that's what makes it more dangerous without it Wireless kill switch
Glad to see you installed. It will shut off immediately in salt water and fresh water. We tested it many times. Try it with your wife driving and show her the bypass button. We did it with our boys so they would know how to get us if we fell off. Great video. Thanks
Out On The Reef from what I had read it has something to do with the density of water. That shuts it off so quick. What we did was have the boat in gear at trolling speed.. around 9 knots as if I was wahoo fishing. It literally shuts off immediately when I jumped in, I was a little concerned about the time it would take to shut off because of the distance to swim back to the boat and the trolling gear dragging behind us if it were a real world situation. I was completely impressed.. it takes a lot for me to trust something as vital as a kill switch. We even tried the bypass plug to make sure it works. 👍 Don’t forget to get you a pack of batteries for the fob, it does last a long time, but you know you can’t be to prepared. Again thanks for the great videos my boys are always on me to put some on for them. Be safe out there and let me know when you get in the Destin area
@@thephenicies9999 that great information to know thank you for talking time to explain it to me Cap. Tell the boys thank for watching my videos and if im ever in Destin i will let you know Cap. Navigate safe Cap.
Glad to see you finally listen to me. I've had mine for two years now love it very safe to use by yourself. If I am going to have ppl on board then I unhook my mob at the back of unit then I can just use my factory lanyard for my etec. Also important point the fob that is number 1 is considered helm or captain if any other of the remaining three fall in water just the alarm goes off doesn't kill the engine but this in my opinion is the best system on market JT 🇺🇸🐟🎣🛥⛱🌴😊😃🙏🏻
Good work on the install and communication of the purpose of this product and I’m glad you took the suggestion to get the MOB+ for life protection. I also was one of those who did recommend it to you. I had the first version aboard for three years but I changed the unit to MOB+ with improved design options. Captain you are leader for helping others to suggest such safety system aboard..
Thank you for recommending it to me my viewers have my back and I have to protect the rest of my viewers thanks again Captain for recommending it to me
saludos capt esta bueno eso ya que tu siempre andas solo ,,,pero nunca abandones la silla cuando este en auto pilot por seguridad,,,, esta buenisimo ese invento
Out On The Reef nada mas que baje el viento y me den un chance voy para bimini en noviembre que es cuando mas pica el wahoo y despues sigo hasta orange cay que esta a 40 millas al sur de bimini oara buscar nuebos puntos para el deep drop
As always, Captain, great job providing us with great knowledge and information. These videos are priceless! Better to be prepared because when you're prepared you're not scared.
Just installed mine yesterday Captain.... perfect install, but spent hours dicking around because i couldn't get my outboard started... that's what happens when you don't read instructions lol just had to press the fob.
I've had one on my Grady 265 Express for a couple years - it's an extremely important product that undoubtedly saves lives... I would have installed mine even earlier, but they came out with the adapting harness for twin Yamahas only a couple years ago... If you have twins or triples, its required to make this device operate...
Hey Cap, great idea. I was wondering about a kill switch because you were so picky about using it on the Yamaha! I’m glad you got a new kill switch, that will ease any stress that comes from walking around the boat while under power. Great video as usual!
Excellent product review Captain. Thank you for sharing, I never knew this item existed and possibly prevented one tragedy via this video, that's a wonderful thing. I live in both worlds these days, one of sailing, the other power boating, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and look forward to each new C.P.H. Out On A Reef adventure.
Thank-you JN And yes you made me thought it's just one person I can help by being safe that means the world to me that with this wonderful product what's possible. And stay safe out there Co-cap Navigate safe
Out of all the things you got on you boat, this was the first one you needed to have first. Way to dangerous the running around you do alone in that boat while moving. Made me scared to the point I told you a while a go why you did not have it on. Now your good to go. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
You are so right and thank you for pointing that out to me that shows a lot of interest on my safety. Now im ready but i don't know if the world is ready for me lol😉😁
@@OutOnTheReef shiiiiet more than ready. Plenty of new places to visit and go, many seas to visit and experience. Just plan and do. Have no fear, your crooked pilot house boat will take you there. Do you have good emergency inflatable raft ??? 🤔🤔🤔. Have not seen you bring that up, or have you ???
HI OOTR, great video; very well done, and a beautiful job on the installation. I too am on my boat alone most of the time, and this would be very helpful. Famous sailor Mike Plant fell off his sailboat Coyote crossing the north Atlantic. He was known for not wearing a safety harness. It must have been a bad feeling as he watched his boat sailing away.... It too think about how bad it would be watching my Parker motor away from me. Even at idle, I would not be able to catch the boat!
Yes Andrew I agree it's got to be one of the worst feelings ever seeing you both disappear and now you're left alone in the water I really recommend you to get one especially you go alone by yourself it will give you peace of mind and also give me peace of mind knowing that you wearing one navigate safe Capitan
And yes I forgot to tell you it we are trolling and a the big fish pulls us real hard and we lose our balance we can land on the water I been there very close but the engine was off😅
@@OutOnTheReef Good info! I have learned a lot from you about safety in operating boats like ours. My last boat for 28+ years would have been nearly impossible to fall overboard; not so with my Parker. It only takes a moment to have a problem. I am embarrassed to tell this, but it is a true account and maybe it will help someone else be smarter than me! I was running from my cockpit controls (I NEVER run on plane from there, only in the pilothouse), and I had the cut-off cable hooked to my shorts. It was a very rough day, and I was trolling at only 7 knots. I got tossed against throttle. The boat took off! I was knocked back against the transom door and over on to the Armstrong swim platform. I did not go overboard, but I did end up on the platform next to the motor. Since I had the cut off clipped to my shorts, the motor DID cut off. If I had fallen overboard, and did not have the cut-off cable connected I would have been in trouble.... I will be taking your advice and am getting an inflatable life-vest, GPS locator, EPIRB, and also the cut-off like you showed in this video. I don't have a great place to install one, but I will find a place..... Thank you for all your videos and all the information you share with all of us.... you are the best! Andy
@@andrewfyakim525 Andrew that it's a scary story as I'm reading it I am living it like it was happening to me I'm glad everything was okay and nothing else happened but from your experience you see that these things do happen we are imperfect as humans and that's why we have accidents it doesn't matter how careful you are that's why we have to go the extra mile and get this safety equipment I have spent a lot of money and safety equipment but it gives my family and it gives me a better feeling when I'm out there hundreds of miles away from Shore. We look after each other as captains. Hugs cap. And navigate safe
@@andrewfyakim525 and remember I do have all the links on the description below of all the items if you want to get something similar to mine trust me they've been tested for years and if I ever had a problem with any of this items I wouldn't recommend them 👍
Excellent addition to your boat.Can you start the engine with the remote also?I could not tell if you were staring the engine also.Great safety device.
Great idea, love it, thank you. Just ordered using your link. Also Capt., maybe consider a "bilge alarm" that will go off, giving you a heads up if ever the bilge starts to fill up...advance notice. : )
Thank you very much captain for the awesome idea and also for purchasing through my links that really helps my channel thanks again for the idea I will put that in mind for the future videos and navigate state
Hector i checked and amazon gave me $8 commission for your purchased ,thank you that really helps my channel keep adding new equipment and making trips. Thank you again for supporting my channel Cap. You are awesome.
Wish you would have shown the wiring. The instructions show the wires from the existing kill switch going directly to the MOB+. But if that is the case then how is the existing kill switch in parallel? Wouldn't you have to have some sort of "T" connection where your existing KS goes directly to your ignition like is always has and then you have the two wires from the MOB+ spliced in as a 3 way connection? I just don't understand how the existing KS will still work if it goes directly to the MOB+ as described in the instructions,.
@@Letizia4813 Hello, captain. And I did this a long time ago I don't quite remember.I will have to go back to it.And the best thing to do is contact the company.That's what I did to get help
I can imagine if you fall in the water near the boat, it would have to be totally sumerged in water for the system to lose contact/ signal to automatically shut off th engine?
That's a great upgrade on the boat for safety captain and remember if you get it through my link I get a commission through Amazon and it really helps my channel out captain😉⚓⚓👍
Thank you for sharing your experience and that is proof that is awesome that it work for you and it's going to work for other people like us. Navigate safe captain
I asked cuz I saw you dropped the boat on the fort Pierce, Port Saint Lucie and West palms area. Anyway thanks for sharing and I will seeing your next video next week! Be safe capt!
Gracias yes you need an existing switch because that's where you going to get your connection from if you don't have one then you have to go to your engine and see where you can add those cables to kill the connection
I have a spare batteries and it's very easy to change and the battery will last about 300 hours of use I also have another device standing by. Thank you for the great question and I forgot to tell you you can always override the system by pressing the button over 10 seconds or disconnecting the unit from the back you can use it with the factory kill switch
Thank you Captain but I don't remember if it came with it but if it doesn't it's only twenty bucks to get a extra fob with a clip. It's an awesome device to keep you safe in the boat I don't go out without it Captain you'll love it👍👍
What I've heard is that you have to buy another special wire to hook them up in series I believe you may want to check out the website I know you could do it they make them for several engines
Not that it will happen But that cinder block is facing the wrong way, they are meant to site with the holes on the bottom. Don’t want it to crumble on you.
That's a great observation Captain you have been the only one that noticed that and you're right on the side of the block it loses strength they're meant to be upwards. Thanks for the heads up Captain
This remind me when i was playing jetski. i forgot to put safety wire on my wrist because i hate that wire..i think this cool device suit attached on jetski.i know that remote is waterproof but how about the receiver system? it is waterproof too?
I looked at the receiver and it looks waterproof the backside of it is not that's why there's a seal and you have to keep it really away from the water the inside part of the outside looks like it's completely sealed you may want to find out more information about that especially for the jet ski is a great upgrade for safety
No doubt.i planned to get one just lil bit modification and sealed.thanks so much Captain.as before you have alot idea that inspired me about boating.thank you very much..keep it up
I have twin Yamaha outboards. I know it’s a dumb question, but how do I know where the kill switch wires are and which ones? Right now there is one lanyard with a traditional horseshoe type kill switch similar to the jetskis.
Yes it is Captain it does and if the electronic one fails one day all you have to put a cap in the back that is provided and the kill switch original on the boat will work as it used to👍
50-60 ft seems a bit much in high current bad weather and a weak swimmer ? Still better to have than not to have though 👍🏻 I’m shopping for those deciding which one because I bought solo often as well thanks for sharing captain
My exact thought too John. At 20 MPH you are talking 1,760 feet (1/3 of a mile) per minute, so with the auto-pilot, it is not inconceivable that there could be a MOB situation that really puts a good distance between you and your vessel. Add in a strong current and or rough conditions our in the GS and you have an issue. But as you said, it is better than having nothing. Probably a good policy to remain inside the pilothouse when underway at full cruising speed.
@@richg3411 thanks Rich for you comment and yes it's a better to have something like this unit then seeing your boat disappear into the deep blue water. Like you said it might be a thousand feet but it sounds better than 200 to 600 miles away from your boat
I understand. I just ordered that and wanted to watch your install video. Big fan of all your work. Thank you for taking the time to post all of these videos.
@jeffvaughn4855 Any time captain, it's my pleasure to share this videos with you and you have picked a great safety device for yourself. I'm proud of you. Thank you for watching and if I can help you any other way please let me know.
My engine wont start now after doing this it's become a big issue with installing this. I had about 2 inches of single black and single white wire go from my kill switch to a male connector which plugged into a female connector which had 2 wires of black and 2 wires of white coming into it. I cut both male and female connectors. Then took the orange wire from the hub and black from the existing kill switch, put it to one side of a butt connector and put the two black wires that went to the female connector which I cut from the ignition and bridged them like that. Same procedure with the white with grey. Manufacturer is not helping at all and is lost on what to do and there are no troubleshooting videos out there. Can you help?
Hello cap what i did i follow tge directions and my recommendation is call them to see if the can help, i dont remember how i did it was a long time ago
My brother. I need a little help connecting my MOB+ . Is there a way I could send you a picture of my fuse box on my boat so you could tell me were to connect the red and black cable . I also got a 1-3a fuse box. Im not to sure how to do it correctly
Out On The Reef thank you. Will look at it. I just got the multiple engine harness today. Will start hopefully tomorrow if it’s stops raining. Will keep you posted. Be safe you and family my brother God bless
Think about this imagine you falling overboard and seeing your boat speeding away from you or a better chance seeing it slowly disappear because of the wind I think that's a better choice because you have more chance that you can swim to your boat even if it's a little windy. when your life's in danger you will swim fast
Fascinating! Perhaps widely known....but for me, this was new technology. And now I understand why you mounted this FOB at the bottom of your Mustang vest. Thank you!

Thank you for the great question and I forgot to tell you you can always override the system by pressing the button over 10 seconds or disconnecting the unit from the back you can use it with the factory kill switch
Nice install Capt. Does the fob in the kit come with a clip to secure it to a life vest, or do you have to purchase an accessary? Thanks in advance.
Thank you Captain but I don't remember if it came with it but if it doesn't it's only twenty bucks to get a extra fob with a clip.
It's an awesome device to keep you safe in the boat I don't go out without it Captain you'll love it👍👍
I can't believe you used such a small paint brush. .Ha Ha
That's what I was thinking..he could have used his finger , lol.
Lol is the smallest i had🤪😉
@@yumyum408 i did use my finger at the end lol
Another A+++ video 👍🏼
Thank you😉👍👍⚓
Long term review questions. Do you still use it? Any problems? How do you like it after years of use?
No problems at all and i use all the time cap.
Hey captain I just came across the fell video one question can 2 motors be wired in series I have a trolling motor I run often
What I've heard is that you have to buy another special wire to hook them up in series I believe you may want to check out the website I know you could do it they make them for several engines
Not that it will happen But that cinder block is facing the wrong way, they are meant to site with the holes on the bottom. Don’t want it to crumble on you.
That's a great observation Captain you have been the only one that noticed that and you're right on the side of the block it loses strength they're meant to be upwards.
Thanks for the heads up Captain
This remind me when i was playing jetski. i forgot to put safety wire on my wrist because i hate that wire..i think this cool device suit attached on jetski.i know that remote is waterproof but how about the receiver system? it is waterproof too?
I looked at the receiver and it looks waterproof the backside of it is not that's why there's a seal and you have to keep it really away from the water the inside part of the outside looks like it's completely sealed you may want to find out more information about that especially for the jet ski is a great upgrade for safety
No doubt.i planned to get one just lil bit modification and sealed.thanks so much Captain.as before you have alot idea that inspired me about boating.thank you very much..keep it up
I have twin Yamaha outboards. I know it’s a dumb question, but how do I know where the kill switch wires are and which ones? Right now there is one lanyard with a traditional horseshoe type kill switch similar to the jetskis.
they sell extra wires for the other engine check their website cap. and you may find it there, they do have the system for 2 engines
Thank you. Twin OBs here as well.. Is there a link you can post for twins? Thanks as always.
Put bucket on side of gunnel and put in water and shut off immediately JT
That sound smart because the gunnels will block signal quickly.
Thanks Cap.😉
Perfect
thanks Big Al
Would this work on any kill switch? I have a set of 04 Yamahas 4 stroke with the standard kill switch from Yamaha
is very easy to install cap
Thats awesome 👍
Thanks Tony👍
Hey Cap, is your mechanical kill switch still operational?
Yes it is Captain it does and if the electronic one fails one day all you have to put a cap in the back that is provided and the kill switch original on the boat will work as it used to👍
Thank you for the quick response!
@@oscarmoreno1119 you're welcome captain👍⚓
50-60 ft seems a bit much in high current bad weather and a weak swimmer ? Still better to have than not to have though 👍🏻 I’m shopping for those deciding which one because I bought solo often as well thanks for sharing captain
My exact thought too John. At 20 MPH you are talking 1,760 feet (1/3 of a mile) per minute, so with the auto-pilot, it is not inconceivable that there could be a MOB situation that really puts a good distance between you and your vessel. Add in a strong current and or rough conditions our in the GS and you have an issue. But as you said, it is better than having nothing. Probably a good policy to remain inside the pilothouse when underway at full cruising speed.
John, the motor will cut as soon as it hits the water. It'll loose contact with the helm antenna
Thank you for watching captain
@@richg3411 thanks Rich for you comment and yes it's a better to have something like this unit then seeing your boat disappear into the deep blue water.
Like you said it might be a thousand feet but it sounds better than 200 to 600 miles away from your boat
So the 50-60 ft is not the requirement just as long as the remote hits the water regardless of distance then that will kill the motor ?
instructions call for a 2 1/16" hole. is that the bit you used?
hello cap i dont remember i did this video a long time ago , thanks for watching cap
I understand. I just ordered that and wanted to watch your install video. Big fan of all your work. Thank you for taking the time to post all of these videos.
@jeffvaughn4855 Any time captain, it's my pleasure to share this videos with you and you have picked a great safety device for yourself. I'm proud of you. Thank you for watching and if I can help you any other way please let me know.
My engine wont start now after doing this it's become a big issue with installing this. I had about 2 inches of single black and single white wire go from my kill switch to a male connector which plugged into a female connector which had 2 wires of black and 2 wires of white coming into it. I cut both male and female connectors. Then took the orange wire from the hub and black from the existing kill switch, put it to one side of a butt connector and put the two black wires that went to the female connector which I cut from the ignition and bridged them like that. Same procedure with the white with grey. Manufacturer is not helping at all and is lost on what to do and there are no troubleshooting videos out there. Can you help?
Hello cap what i did i follow tge directions and my recommendation is call them to see if the can help, i dont remember how i did it was a long time ago
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What if is windy and you fall overboard? Can you swim fast enough to keep up with a moving boat ?
Think about this imagine you falling overboard and seeing your boat speeding away from you or a better chance seeing it slowly disappear because of the wind I think that's a better choice because you have more chance that you can swim to your boat even if it's a little windy.
when your life's in danger you will swim fast
MAN, WHY YOU HAVE THE FACE COVERED ALL THE TIME?
