Mercury – Wearable Fob Kit | 1st Mate Passenger System | Marine Safety Gear | 8M6007948

Overview

Boating is supposed to feel freeing—wind on your face, the hum of the engine, the quiet trust that everyone on board is safe. That sense of calm is exactly what the 1st Mate passenger fob kit helps preserve. Whether you’re heading out with kids, friends, or anyone who isn’t at the helm, having the right safety gear makes every trip feel more secure. And when that gear integrates smoothly into your boating routine, you barely notice it’s there—until the moment you need it.

The Quicksilver 8M6007948 Passenger Wearable Fob Kit is built for that peace of mind. It keeps every passenger connected to the captain and the vessel in a smart, unobtrusive way. You’re not just outfitting your boat—you’re protecting your people.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A passenger fob may be small, but the confidence it brings is huge. Once paired to your vessel, it quietly monitors each person wearing it. If someone slips, trips, or gets thrown overboard, the system reacts instantly—alerting the captain and triggering emergency protocols. It’s the kind of protection you hope you’ll never need but will be grateful for if you do.

The adjustable wristband fits comfortably on both adults and kids, and the included carabiner gives you flexibility if a passenger prefers clipping the fob to a belt loop or life vest. The fob stays secure, the signal stays strong, and the system stays ready. Even better, the theft deterrent functionality adds a layer of security when the boat is unattended.

The whole setup is simple, smooth, and intuitive—no fumbling, no complicated steps. Just gear that works.
