1st Mate Overboard Safety System
Falling overboard is one of the most dangerous and life-threatening things that can happen at sea, especially falling overboard without anyone noticing. 1st Mate is a marine safety and security system that is designed to keep that from happening. It utilizes wearable fobs for boat captain and up to seven passengers, a central hub that is connected to the boatīs propulsion system, and a mobile app. If any of the passengers fall overboard, their fob transmits a distress signal to the hub as soon as it is immersed in the water, and the captain will be alerted and given the passengerīs GPS location via the app. And should the captain fall overboard, not only will an alert be sounded, but the engine will also shut off, thanks to direct integration with the vesselīs propulsion system. The app will then provide the passengers with instructions on how to restart the engine, and get to the captainīs location. The app can also alert onshore emergency contacts, and has a Theft Deterrent System that locks your engine to prevent unauthorized use. Watch the video below
