Thanks for that info Pappy.

We were talking at breakfast about this incident. I assume the current rescue squads are schooled in new and current electronics. I've often thought about the scenario of me falling overboard while trolling by myself. I don't use my big engine much to troll but I do occasionally. My GPS is on 100% of the time I'm on the water and it's marking a track of my location. I'm wondering if the rescue squads are taught to go to the electronics on a boat in a situation like above and trace the tracks back to a possible place such an accident might have happened? Even a boat running in circles isn't going to stay in an exact track due to wind, waves, or current. With my remote "NAV" button on, my boat isn't going to vary course very much but at least the track might give some indication when an overboard situation might have happened.

I try to support my local rescue squad financially as often as I can and wouldn't trade jobs with them for any amount of money.

BTW, if my Terrova or Suzuki are at trolling speed, I rarely wear my PFD or kill switch and don't require my clients to do so.
