Wireless boat controller is asking for trouble

lol, oh brother! A little FYI, Minn Kota makes and sells electric trolling motors driven off of 12VDC marine batteries. Capable of maybe 1/2 mile per hour. Normally they are remotely foot controlled, steering and speed, while you stand and cast.

Auto steering systems have been available for sailboats for quite some time. Set the course and head down below for some lunch.

Ditto on what the other guy said. Mr Frucci must be having a tough week finding things to write about.

Though remote boats do exist. http://www.botoskifree.com/ I remember reading about such things in the 80's too.

On the other hand autopilot systems are available and commonly used on much larger vessels. I read a story last year of some fisherman who fell out of their vessel off the coast of Miami or maybe Key West. The auto pilot followed the last plotted course bringing the boat aground in Cuba.
