2021 Salty H20 Fishing Thread!

[Capt Glenn]

Guys, just want to take a minute to put out a reminder. Please wear your kill switch lanyards. I am really bad about not using mine and I know I am bad about it. I'm going to really try harder to make it happen every single time I run my boat. I hope you all will too. Things can go really wrong, really quickly.

I'm not going to go into details but we lost a fishing guide on the coast today who was thrown from and then run over by his boat and was killed. It can happen so fast even to the most experienced boaters. This is at least the second incident I personally know of with someone I consider an expert in their area and an expert at running a boat ending up being thrown from and run over by their boat. Neither one had a kill switch or had it on.

Be safe out there.

Prayers up for the family.

You can be my wingman anytime.

Not only could it save your life, it could save some innocent persons life.

Prayers up. I wear mine 100% of the time. Also, take the time to make sure it is working. A buddy and I showed up in POC once spur of the moment and borrowed a friend’s boat to fish out of. Once while making a run that day my buddy reached for something and pulled the kill switch cord while doing so. To both our surprise the boat kept on running. Pretty uneasy feeling seeing that.

I think I am going to look into one of the cordless options. I think I'd do better with something like that.

Rip

I believe it’s the law now to wear it as of last sept. 1.

This is the first I have heard of a cordless option. I admit I don't wear mine consistently, definitely when I have the kids onboard though.

Prayers up for the guide that lost his life today, sad news.

Man what a tragedy. Just seeing this, he definitely wasn't a newbie to the game. Prayers for his family.

I’ve been clipping it to my pants/shorts and leaving it on the whole trip. That way switch gets flipped off when we stop and I leave the console area. Won’t start back up until it’s switched back so always reminds me to put the lanyard back on the switch. The wrist things seem like a huge pita.

We've talked about those before. I agree not a bad option.

I figured you'd know the guy.

God speed sir

I meant to have them install one on my boat and just flat forgot about it. It's an easy addition and can be wired in with your current regular kill switch so that you can use either one.

Any way I can get a link or PM me who this was. I have a lot of guide friends on the coast. Thanks
