Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The NorCross Marine SkierAlert SP is a wireless water sport safety system that watches for fallen skiers, wakeboarders, or tubers. Featuring a 360-degree pivoting, waterproof base that you can easily install with suction cups on a boat's dashboard, this wireless, 100-percent waterproof safety lanyard attaches to a skier's life jacket or belt. To help prevent falls from turning deadly, it sounds a 100 decibel alarm should the signal be interrupted to alert the boat's driver or captain.

Also doubling as a man overboard detector, the SkierAlert SP is intuitive and easy to use. Simply install the base station on the boat dash with the integrated suction cups, then attach the wireless safety lanyard to the skier's life jacket or belt. Once you've activated the lanyard's power switch, it maintains a wireless signal with the base station while the boat cruises.

An ideal marine accessory whether you're towing beginning skiers or long-time boarders, the SkierAlert SP features a lanyard that stands up to continuous submersion and even floats when separated from a life jacket. Able to hold up against continual spraying, the base station enables interference-free communication with automatic code matching; a lanyard battery monitor with automatic low power detection; a built-in low-profile antenna; and a polarized dot matrix liquid crystal display. And powering the base station couldn't be simpler, as it works off three "AAA" batteries (not included) or an external 12-volt plug. The lanyard comes its own CR2032 battery, which lasts for roughly 30 hours (with an auto-off function that preserves battery life).

The SkierAlert SP is backed by a two year warranty. For many of these same great features, plus more advanced communication options, take a look at the Norcross Marine SkierAlert XP.

What's in the Box
Display unit; wireless lanyard; 12-volt plug, and CR2032 battery.

Product Description

The SkierAlert SP utilizes patented MarineLink Technology to closely monitor a Skier, Wakeboarder, Tuber, etc, and even doubles as a man overboard detector. When the Wireless Safety Lanyard is attached to a life jacket or belt the Base Station will immediately sound when the signal from the Lanyard is broken or submerged in water.

This review is from: NorCross Marine Skier Alert SP (Electronics)

I bought this thinking it would be a great safety item. The driver would immediately be notified when a skier is down and have a faster turnaround picking up downed skiers. I've tried everything to get it to work properly, fresh batteries, etc. It either doesn't sound the alarm when it should, or it sounds the alarm when it shouldn't. No alarm or false alarm - either one is bad.
