to be waterproof. But I've been wondering what would happen if I took a dunking by myself. Would hate to see the boat sail off over the horizon with the motor set on constant. Anybody know? I always wear my life vest but that's still not too comforting if the spill comes in the winter.
If you got the remote with you all is good, dont drop it in the floor like I do most of the time when I need to do sumpin. Try to keep it attached to me at all times if possible, cant stand it around my neck.:banghead
Man, can't imagine the boat on auto pilot while I was in the water. I use spot loc most of the time.
I keep mine on a lanyard around my neck. I don't have the foot control hooked up. I told my partner if I fall in while he's with me to unplug it. I assumed the remote would be useless. Think imight test it this summer. Sorry for the delay in responding, my tapatalk is not working.
You gonna jump in on purpose to test it?
Pretty sure mine will get tested at some point :biggrin
Yep. I' ll report back when I do
Don't forget to take your wallet and your money out first they are hard to dry out.{don't ask how I know this} Oh cigarettes TooQuote:

It is waterproof and it floats as well. The MK folks knew we would probably drop it overboard or fall in with it. I wear mine around my neck at all times, don't even notice it is there. It comes with a couple of quick clips, so if you don't like it around your neck, you can clip it to your belt or ring on your life jacket. (You do have one on, don't you??)
Always.Quote:

No life jacket on when troller is deployed but I do use a clip to hook to a belt loop,makes it handy. I want to get one of the new "extra" remotes that will work on all the motors for a spare and so my fishing partner will have one as well. Think they are around 100 bucks.Quote:
