The Perfect Holiday Option for the Hard-to-Buy for Fisherman

December 4, 2019 By DeDee

Key Captain Key Fobs Sarasota Quality ProductsFisherman, Key Captain wiring by Sarasota Quality Products

The Convenience of a One-Click Boat Security in the Palm of Your Fisherman

The Key Captain is a fishing boat owner’s dream! Our patented remote control Key Fob locks and unlocks a boat’s storage compartments from 50-100 feet away.

It also controls all engine trailer trim up and down with hydraulic control,  boat lighting, and live wells.

 

Three Benefits of the Key Captain for Your Fisherman

  1. Convenience
    The ability to unlock the compartments when your fisherman is on the water and lock them at the end of the day with one touch of the Key Fob saves them valuable time. And once they are out on the water with open compartments, they remain unlocked until your angler hits the fab to lock them up again.
  2. Theft prevention.
    Fishing tackle burglaries do happen. With over ten compartments in most bass or walleye boats, just forgetting to lock one or two can result in losing someone’s winning lures, poles, or reels.
  3. Easy to install.
    Our locks fit into all standard boat lock openings. Please review this brief video from the pro angler, Joe Okada, about the installation process.

If your fisherman is a DIYer, they will find the instructions easy to follow. Not a DIYer, or you’d like to surprise them with an installation on their new boat or retrofitted to their existing one? No problem! Let us know if you’d like to have it installed on a new boat or retrofitted onto your boat through a dealer near you.

The Key Captain Consists of Three Main Components

 

Control Panel: Our unique coding technique protects against unwanted radio interference. It’s permanently sealed and tamperproof.

Key Fob: It’s waterproof, and it floats – making it easy to find if dropped in the water. Two types of remotes are available – a floating Pawl and an automotive-style one.

Electronic Lock Latch: It has a contemporary look with multiple cam choices.

Keep Your Valuables Safe with a Remote Boat Locking System

October 22, 2018 By Jim Schilens

Is your boat less than 26 feet?

Does it have outboard motor power and rest on a trailer?

If you said yes, beware – you could be a target for theft. A newly released study that looked at five years of BoatUS Marine Insurance claims files shows that 75 percent of all boats stolen matched this description.

According to Bass Angler Magazine:

With the long winter lay-up period nearing, BoatUS has five tips to make your boat harder to steal.

  1. Just one lock? Try another, and another. You simply can’t have enough. The whole goal is to make someone else’s boat more attractive than yours, so the more locks a thief sees – on the trailer tongue, outboard engine, or used with chain around the trailer wheels – the better the chance he’ll move on.
  2. Don’t leave the key on a stored boat. Never assume your key’s hiding place is so good that thieves won’t find it. Remember, that’s what these people do for a living.
  3. Make the trailer impossible to move. A removable tongue hitch, or, better yet, removing the trailer tires if the boat’s going into long-term storage turns your rig into 1-ton dead weight. The little things can help, too, such as not parking your boat in the driveway with the hitch facing the street. Consider using removable trailer lights – with most thieves working the nightshift, they want to avoid attracting the attention an unlit trailer would cause.
  4. Don’t stick out. You may want to think twice about hanging a “for sale” sign on the side of your boat. Use a full winter cover to hide attention-getting, splashy graphics. Store all valuables, removable electronics and paperwork at home during the off-season.
  5. Check out new anti-theft technologies. Devices that send alerts to your cell phone, take photos/video, provide tracking, or kill the motor if your boat moves from its virtual boundary can stop a theft in its tracks. Once a boat is gone, the BoatUS study finds that only one in 10 vessels are ever fully recovered.

Nothing is foolproof, but here is an example of newer technology that can make it more difficult for expert thieves to rip you off.

Our patented Key Captain Boat Remote Locking System protects valuables inside your boat’s compartments with just one click using our remote, waterproof key fob.  It allows you to lock all boat compartments simultaneously.

And it works the same as your vehicle remote key fob that locks and unlocks doors. Store your rods and electronics in boat compartments and you’ve made it more difficult for an ill-intention passer-by to steal from you.

Turn On Deck or Cabin Lights With One-Click

March 17, 2018 By Jim Schilens

Remote Boat Locking System Lighting Feature

What’s worse than returning to your boat at night and having to fumble around to turn on the lights?

In the process, you probably stepped on something and broke it. This is a common complaint among boaters and especially professional fishermen.

That’s where the Key Captain remote boat locking system for your boat’s storage compartments comes in. Not only does it offer the convenience to lock your boat with one-click, but it also allows you to do the same with your deck or cabin lights.

Think about it.

If you have 8,10, 12 or even more compartments, it becomes increasing more beneficial to you to lock them all at once, providing a sense security.

Tamper-Proof Control Panel

The system’s control panel is a permanently sealed and tamper-proof unit with a coding technique that protect it from unwanted interference. The transmitters are designed for marine use. Additional transmitters are available that can be added and programmed by the user. The system’s unique sleep mode results in low power energy saving operation, which saves battery life.

The Key Captain Customizable System can also control the engine trim up and down with the touch of a button. You can use another button to turn on and off the boat lights, radio, bilge blower, and air conditioning from up to 300 feet away, before you board. This ensures that your boat will be cool on a hot day and the cabin lights on at night when you return to it.

Recommended by Top Professional Fishermen

Many pro bass fishermen and pro walleye anglers have used the Key Captain system on their boats because of the convenience and security.

Watch Pro Walleye Angler Joe Okada and Pro Bass Angler Shaw Grigsby discuss the Key Captain.
