Tr6coug: Any update? How are you coming with phase II of your push button starter?

Anyone heard an update? This is my opinion: cool item!

The method to start from OFF now is two momentary pushes and then a long push to start. Or if your in ACC then one momentary push and then a long push to start. This is the same as was shown in the video.

If this changes anyone's mind on the order, just PM me. I haven't shipped any yet, so I don't mind sending a refund.

After the lawsuit over the X45 in Cali I can completely understand where you are coming from on this. If someone were to get chopped up by a prop that had your push-button start switch in it you know the suits would go for your throat. Hell, even with a the key switch still in the loop I could see the suits still wanting to have fun with you.

There is a crap ton of liability on products that people and companies sell. If someone wants to offer up a 50 million dollar insurance policy for cheap do it now.

Hopefully something can be worked out and you find a way to offer of the product.

I've investigated this some more and I'm not going to put it on the market at this point.

Its really unfortunate because the push button start is really cool. Thats why MC, Malibu, Nautique, etc. all have it on the new boats. But, they are big companies with deep pockets and attorneys.

I do this as a hobby mostly and any possibility of liability is more than I want to worry about.

Any possibility of selling this in a kit form which would require some amount of assembly and protect yourself from the potential liability?

Haven't read the thread, but you can setup a separate LLC for this product which will insulate you personally from liability if done correctly. Don't give up on a good idea due to the dirtbag trial lawyers.
