I never did hear the big motor turning off I believe there are different types of electronic kill switches. Some work when submerged. Some when a certain distance away. I think you can set the distance

I never did hear the big motor turning off I believe there are different types of electronic kill switches. Some work when submerged. Some when a certain distance away. I think you can set the distance Very true, and he may have had one, but it did look like he got fairly wet, so we might be able to discount the water-activated versions. Odds are with the simple answer of "not attached" however. While I spent my entire career immersed in high technology, I don't feel that items such as a kill switch mechanism need an expensive does of technology. The reasons for it may be more valid for larger vessels; for bass boats, I believe simple can be counted on better than high-tech that could have a problem when needed most.

I wear a regular life jacket because I don't trust auto inflate. I will always hook up my kill switch lanyard because I wouldn't trust an electronic one. I have no idea if he had one on. Just throwing out that possibility instead of assuming he wasn't wearing one

He was doing what everyone does at tournament take off. Trying to pass boats. He caught a wake wrong.
Why are you being an apologist for him, your sitting on an island alone on this one. I'm not being an apologist. I just see it for what it is. Most everyone on here that fishes tournaments drives just like that at take off. He might have been one bump high on the trim button. But that makes it an accident. Not reckless or negligent. If you drive like that on the left side of a blind turn you are likely going to kill somebody one day. It’s truly scary you think it’s acceptable. It’s why the rest of us have to be defensive drivers to watch out for the dipshits.

Isn’t a kill switch test a common test right before a numbered launch. I know almost all the big tournaments I fish have one. “On three...everyone pull the switch”....followed by the one “legit” guy that just doesn’t listen and his motor is still running. Hahaha.
I think he had his kill switch hooked to his jacket and removed it as he jumped up from the seat. It’s habit for guys that do this every weekend.

It’s why the rest of us have to be defensive drivers to watch out for the dipshits. What you’re seeing in some people’s comments is part of a bigger societal cancer that’s spreading rapidly throughout our civilization. There are people out there who worship and have committed a blind allegiance to liars and crooks and will ignore common sense and indisputable facts in plain sight... they will dispute information coming from trained professionals, without having any credible conflicting facts about what’s in everybody’s best interest, over their own inconveniences, they will defend a criminal at the same time as being ripped off by that criminal. If one didn’t know better, they might think somethings been polluting our drinking water or food chain thats caused irreparable damage to many people’s ability to see things rationally. It’s a sad time where witnessing the deterioration of some people’s minds has become commonplace.
