As a preamble, since January 1, 2024, sailors have been required to wear a circuit-breaker cord for safety reasons, and this as soon as the engine is running, in ports, to get out of traps and the like!!! It goes without saying that this "lanyard" doesn't make it easy to get around on board. On the other hand, it's an indispensable safety feature for all of us.
However, there is a modern and practical alternative: the Fell Marine electronic circuit-breaker system. This revolutionary device uses wireless technology to provide a freer, safer boating and fishing experience.
Fell Marine, an innovative wireless solution
The Fell Marine system consists of a transmitter worn by the driver and a receiver installed on the boat, often in parallel with the "classic" circuit-breaker. In the event of a fall overboard, or if the driver strays too far, the system automatically cuts the boat's engine. The system is simple: if the device carried by the angler is underwater, or if he or she moves more than 10 m away, the engine is cut off. This guarantees optimum safety while allowing greater freedom of movement than with a traditional lanyard.
The system has a 6-second time delay, after which a person on board can restart the engine to save the man overboard. You can also multiply the number of sensors for the other people on board. In this case, only the pilot's main transmitter will cut the engine, while the others will trigger an audible alarm to alert the "captain".
Advantages of the Fell Marine system
- Optimum mobility : the Fell Marine wireless system allows the operator to move freely around the boat without the risk of accidental disconnection. Fishing is that much easier.
- Immediate response: in the event of a fall, the motor stops instantly, offering enhanced safety for all passengers.
- Simple installation : the device is easy to install and use on all boats with outboard motors. It doubles up on the classic cord system. Once installed and set up, it operates automatically without the need for continuous manual intervention.
- Technological reliability : designed to withstand the harshest marine conditions, the Fell Marine system uses state-of-the-art wireless technology, guaranteeing reliable operation in all circumstances. Its power system is designed to provide 300 hours of autonomy.
Compliance with new regulations
With the requirement to wear a circuit breaker in place since January 2024, adopting the Fell Marine system is an effective way to comply with regulations while enhancing your boating experience. This modern device ensures optimum safety without the constraints of a wired cord, and has long since received its "approvals" from the marine authorities.
In conclusion, the Fell Marine electronic fuse system represents a major advance in boating safety. By replacing the traditional lanyard with a wireless solution, it offers greater freedom of movement and a rapid response in the event of a fall. For all those who want to sail safely and comfortably, the Fell Marine system is an essential choice. In any case, it will soon be mine on my boat.
