Let your motor down and get out in your yard with your remote and see ......check it out
Good question, was wondering same thing. Also to add to it. Does tour TM cutoff once remote is out of range? Or if you went overboard would the boat keep sailing away if the remote was lost?
100 feet is pretty safe bet. No the TM does not power off once the remote is out of range, yes it will keep on going.Quote:

The new Ulterra remotes reach up to 100 yards or so.
It is tied to me..not sure about being able to stay in the boat...always have life vest on now..
100 ft.. Will go by pretty quick @1.8 mph
I figure it further than that but feel like you can count on that much and yes it would go by very quick. Know where the anchor button is and hit it, then regroup.
PS: don't hit the bunny rabbit button!!!!!!:yikes
Yall old geezers going to have to put seat belts in the boat for yall
Everytime I go with Mr Charlie I got to bungee strap, Zip tie and ratchet strap him into the seat so I don't lose him overboard
LoL you sure rough on a fella.Quote:

My luck my remote would decide to go to sleep about the time I hit the surface.
That's what I aim to do, just never know what will happen, lol. I used to be a good swimmer, that was 20 years and 100 lbs ago though :RoflQuote:

His story was Dave turned the trolling motor broadside and switched it on at high speed.......Poor Ken did not have any "balance" problem after all.....
Maybee you I-Link guys need a kill switch.
Is the remote water proof or does it die as soon as it hits the water?
It would have an infinite range if I was in the boat fishing, too! LolQuote:
