The 1STM M CAPT FOB is the central command safety device in the 1stMate Marine Safety System, specifically designed for the vessel’s captain. This smart, wearable fob connects wirelessly to your boat’s engine system, offering advanced features like automatic engine shut-off, man-overboard alerts, and anti-theft functionality, all in one compact, rugged device.
Worn by the captain, this fob ensures that if the wearer is unexpectedly separated from the vessel—such as during a fall overboard—the engine will immediately stop. This critical feature helps prevent further accidents and allows for a quick and safe recovery. The fob communicates seamlessly with the 1stMate hub using encrypted Bluetooth technology, ensuring a secure and reliable link at all times.
Beyond engine cut-off capabilities, the 1STM M CAPT FOB also enables engine lock/unlock security, giving the captain control over when the boat can be operated. This is especially useful for deterring theft or unauthorized use of your vessel. Through the connected 1stMate mobile app, you can customize settings, view trip history, assign roles, and monitor overboard events in real time.
Designed for comfort and durability, the fob is compact and lightweight, allowing for discreet wear around the wrist, neck, or clipped to a life vest. Built with marine-grade, water- and UV-resistant materials, it’s engineered to perform reliably in saltwater environments and during high-speed boating.
The fob features a long-lasting, user-replaceable battery, providing extended usage between changes. It’s quick to pair with your 1stMate system and can easily be reassigned to different users as needed—making it a flexible, essential tool for boating safety and control.
Whether you’re cruising inland or heading offshore, the 1STM M CAPT FOB offers confidence, convenience, and unmatched peace of mind. As the captain’s primary safety device, it plays a critical role in protecting your vessel, your passengers, and yourself.
