1. Inside the AUTOTETHER™ sensor is a transmitter that sends radio waves to a receiver connected to your boat’s engine cutoff device (kill switch). Should the operator or passenger wearing the AUTOTETHER™ sensor fall overboard, the signal between the sensor and the receiver is broken (radio waves do not travel through water).
2. If the operator goes overboard the engine shuts off and an alarm sounds. This prevents a runaway boat and allows the operator to reboard the vessel.
3. If a passenger goes overboard, the alarm will sound alerting the operator to return and pick up the passenger.
4. The radio transmitter also works on distance; the sensors can transmit to the receiver up to a distance of 150 feet. Place a passenger sensor into a dinghy being towed, if it breaks loose the alarm will sound.
5. For added safety, should the operator or a passenger notice a potential danger, just push the red alert button located on the sensor to sound an alarm and stop the boat.

AUTOTETHER™ installation is simple!..“clips” right to your ignition kill switch.

The clip is connected via a short, coiled wire to a receiver that is mounted using 3M dual lock strips allowing you to take the unit on and off the boat.

Attach the wireless personal sensor to your lifevest or pocket.

No wiring or tools needed.

The system is “self-powered” via inexpensive AAA batteries (supplied) that provide over 100 hours of service.

An indicator light on the receiver “lights” when it’s time to change the batteries

That simple. That easy. That safe!

The included FOB will also allow you to stop the boat by pressing the panic button. You control the kill switch when you are away from your boat.

The Autotether is portable. Take it from boat to boat. We have the most convenient water safety solution.
