Abstract:
An electromechanical Automatic Safety Flag kit for a water vehicle, comprised essentially of:a. a mast motor assembly and housing, which includes a electric motor, a relay circuitry, and a mast assembly with a mast cable and the flag mast;b. a water catch device;c. a water catch tube;d. a pressure switch; ande. a mast lowering button, the water catch device including a catch port to catch water when the water vehicle is moving forward, the water catch tube attached to said catch port on one end of said tube, such that water caught in the catch port will be forced into the water catch tube, and said water catch tube is attached to and connected to a pressure sensitive mechanical switch at the terminal end of the water catch tube, whereby when there is sufficient water pressure at said terminal end of the water catch tube, the pressure sensitive mechanical switch will activate said mast motor assembly to raise the flag mast when the vehicle is below a set speed.
