Summer Safety Tips

Summer boating season is right around the corner! Make sure that safety is always on the forefront of your mind so you can have a fun time boating with your friends! Boat accidents can lead to serious injuries and are usually caused by the careless actions of the boat operator.  To prevent any damages or accidents caused by manually lowering your boating into the water, use Firstmate Controls system and remote control to safely lower your boat into the water and set sail! By following the safety tips in this blog, you and your crew will be on your way to enjoying a safer boating outing this summer!  Always Wear Lifejackets It is widely known that you should wear life jackets, but it is also known that many people choose not to wear one anyway. Everyone on board should wear a lifejacket that is US Coast Guard approved. Make sure to have enough for everyone and they fit properly.  Know The Boat Laws It is crucial to know and understand the boating laws for the body of water you are on.

Going Wireless on Your Dock

  Our Main Goal With the push of a button instead of using direct electricity, the Firstmate Boat Lift Remote Control takes all the work out of raising and lowering your boat without any messy wires. The Firstmate system can automatically set your boat to one of three levels: Up, Board, or Down. When your boat reaches the desired level, the system shuts off automatically. With the Board position, there’s no more climbing up into the boat or hanging on to the dock, making it easier to get your guests and their items in and out safely. We offer a variety of accessories for your dock, all focusing on being wireless, safe, energy-efficient, and convenient.
