What does the Fail Safe Controller Do?

The backup that never forgets.

We've all done it — hit the throttle with the kicker still running and down. The Fantom Fail-Safe makes sure that mistake never costs you again. It's an add-on that works with your existing trolling setup and stands guard over your kicker motor: if you forget to shut it down and stow it, the Fail-Safe does it for you, automatically — before any damage is done.

Automatic shutdown & stow

  • Detects takeoff and shuts your kicker down for you
  • Raises and stows the motor automatically — no button, no reminder

Protects your investment

  • Prevents hydrolock 
  • Saves you from gearcase damage and costly repairs
