AWARD WINNING DESIGN
WORLD LEADING MOB DEVICE
MOB+ is the most recognized wireless MOB
system in the world. The system consists of an
easy to install HUB mounted in your boat and up
to four wearable FOBs. The FOBs communicate
wirelessly with the HUB. Four FOB’s can be
connected to the HUB at the same time, with
one unit acting as the captain’s stop unit, and
the additional three as alarm or stop units for
passengers.

Corded Lanyard
Falling overboard is one of the most
likely cause of death while boating
Traditional lanyard type cut-o switches are not
always used by boaters, resulting in a rising trend
in both injuries and fatal accidents. According to
USCG statistics almost 60% of all boat related
deaths in 2016 was caused by fall overboard.
WIRELESS BOATING
MOB+ sets a new standard
for wireless man overboard
devices and safety onboard.
MOB+ is developed to
provide 100% stability and
save you in just one second
should you fall over board.

Out of range
If you get out of the wireless
range of MOB+, whether by falling
overboard in the water or walking
away from your boat on the docks,
the engine will stop.
In the water
Should you fall overboard the
MOB+ will stop the engine because
the wireless connection is lost
when submerged in over 4 inches
of water, even if you are still within
50 feet of your boat.
In the zone
As long as you stay within wireless
range you are free to drive your
boat and move about as you feel
like. Just relax as MOB+ cares for
you if a MOB event should occur.

Disconnect with a simple click on your FOB. We recommend that you
disconnect the Pilot FOB before leaving the boat. Disconnecting while the
engine(s) are running will turn off the engine(s).
The normal FOB to HUB connection
will automatically time-out after 20h
and shut down your engine(s). This is to
prevent unnecessary battery drainage
of the xFOB battery. Click FOB again to
reconnect.
The Pilot FOB acts as a stop button to
shut down the engine(s) at any time.
While the Pilot FOB is connected, click
the button on the FOB to activate stop.
The same stop function can be activated
by clicking on the dash mounted HUB.
Before attempting to connect your

NEW FOB SETUP & sync
Pairing is only necessary the first time you use the system and not
necessary before each boating trip. Pairing is the first-time-use
procedure of synchronizing your FOBs unique IDs with your HUB to
allow the two to connect wirelessly.
3sec3sec
Press and hold
the button on
your HUB.
The HUB starts
flashing blue and
gives a sound
signal indicating
Pairing Mode.
Press and hold
the button on
your FOB
The HUB will give a
sound signal and a
green light to indicate
a successful pairing.
The HUB can store the ID of up to 20
unique FOBs at any given time. If pairing
more than 20 FOBs the system will start
overwriting the first stored FOB IDs. The
HUB will continue to remember the FOB
IDs even though the unit lose power.
Smart FOB memory
To use a particular FOB on multiple boats,
you need to repair the FOB for each time
the FOB is transferred to the new vessel.
The FOB only remember its last paired
HUB, this is to prevent it from connecting
to more than one HUB at the time.
One FOB, multiple boats
FOB MISSING - OVERRIDE
If you have lost your FOB or if it’s out of battery, you can always
override the system. Remember that when you override the
system you will NOT be protected in a man overboard situation.
In the unlikely event that the MOB+ Sys-
tem stops functioning. Unplug the xHUB
and plug the emergency cap into the
cable to be able to drive your boat. The
emergency cap is located on the cable
supplied with the MOB+ xHUB.
Emergency Cap
Override Mode automatically times out
after 8h and shuts down your engine(s)
to prevent engine start if the boat is
left unobserved. After time-out the
Override Mode can be reactivated as
shown above.
