Boating across the lake with the breeze in your hair and the sun on your face is an incredible feeling! But, there are a lot of things that could go wrong and ruin your day of boating in the blink of an eye. Firstmate Controls is in the business of solving problems and improving the safety of the boating process, so we have a few great ways to help avoid some of the common boating issues you might encounter. Keep reading to learn more!


Falling on the Dock


It's hard to have a great time on the water if you've taken a bad fall. Bruises and possible broken bones are no fun and should be avoided at all costs. Firstmate Controls knows firsthand just how dangerous boarding and docking can be without a remote control boat lift system. All it takes is one misplaced foot when you or a passenger tries jumping from the boat to the dock to manually operate the lift. Instead of risking injury every day you go boating, invest in the best boat lift remote control system - Firstmate Controls. The remote has settings for "up", "boarding", and "down" that you can operate safely within the boat. No more jumping and falling!

Forgetting Something


Once you're out on the water, it can be pretty common for someone to realize they left something back at the house. Whether it's a phone, the sunscreen, the cooler full of drinks, etc. While it might not always be an emergency, there are going to be times when you have to swing back around to the house and retrieve the item they forgot. Not everyone will want to board back up and make the trip back with you, so you'll likely end up letting them stay in the cove with everyone else while you make the trip back to the house solo. This could be dangerous as you try to safely tie up, jump to the dock, get the item, jump back to the boat, and return. If you happen to fall, it's very possible that no one will know for a long time. The remote control boat lift system from Firstmate Controls solves this problem! You can lower the lift into the water from afar and know it's working due to the strobe light attachment. Then you can raise the boat to boarding level so it's a breeze to walk on and off the dock to get the forgotten item.


Running Out of Gas


This is a huge disappointment when it happens. You may be cruising along having a great time, only to start slowing down and sputtering to a halt. Stopping the fun and calling the authorities to come retrieve you is never part of the plan. But who has the time and patience to go fill up with gasoline before the whole crew arrives? Someone with a Firstmate Controls remote lift system, that's who! If you have the remote control system, it's super simple to go out on your own and fill the boat up with gas. You don't have to worry about how you're going to get on and off the boat to the dock without hurting yourself. With the gas running errand being so much easier, you probably won't run out of gas as often!
