Thread: hot foot

I don't think a boat should be without one if you are going over 30 or 40...if you fall out or if you slip out of the seat or anything like that the boat stops...I know you have a kill switch lanyard but those are sometimes unhooked and if it fails the hot foot won't...its a mechanical thing not electronic...just good piece of mind...also easier to control boat in rough water...also helps on those cold days when your motor doesn't wanna wake up..lol

and yes a longer cable will be in order....unhook the one you have from the control box and measure to where you want the hotfoot to be...add that to your existing cable and you got it...normally a couple or few feet will do. good luck! and thumbs up on the t/t on the steering or even go with the blinker type control...this all said you ALWAYS have both hands on the wheel...just much safer.
