I have this https://www.amazon.com/FELL-Marine-Wireless-Switch-Basepack/dp/B075MMHYMK/ https://www.amazon.com/FELL-Marine-Wireless-Switch-Basepack/... on my 23 foot day cruiser and I'm very happy with it.
Sometimes cuts when I'm on the dock untying etc but could probably be improved by adjusting the antennae orientation.
- zaroth 4y agoCutting off your control authority at the worst possible time would definitely be the risk trade-off!
- StianOvrevage 4y agoI agree that in general that would be something to avoid. But in my case the probability * consequence math for the usual scenarios is still fairly low. When untying it only cuts once in a while when doing the bow lines and I'm still attached at the stern, so no risk there. When preparing to dock it's only if I need to find and prepare extra rope from some of the most aft compartments, which I do well ahead of when I need them and not during "critical phases of operation". If I expect to be running around a lot during docking I take the FOB off and place it on the dashboard. I don't leave the helm unless the gear is in neutral, and if I fall in the water I'm usually within 20 meters of land which I'm fairly certain I'd be able to reach :)
