2022 safety lanyard type

[PYC5 Dave]

the captain is always responsible for everything that happens,

I have tried telling her that, however anyone married for awhile knows not to go there!

Hopefully this will be a non issue in the future. I developed and have a US patent for a proximity sensor that knows when the captain is at the helm and above idle speed will kill the engine in the event it does not detect the captain present at the helm. This system requires no learned behavior and does not need silly lanyards or wireless devices to operate. The system will likely change safety in the boating industry and once and for all be a SOLUTION to runaway boats!

I would love to see the snowmobile & PWC market adopt that technology!

Safety lanyard law went into effect in 2021 and is required to be worn on vessels under 26 feet when speed is above idle.
