I am think worst case here.. I would be very frustrated to have a running motor but still be left stranded in one of the finger lakes because the battery had lost enough charge[ whatever the cause] and the thought crossed my mine that perhaps this was a safe-guard against such a thing . It not that I would want to keep using the boat that way, just get back to the docking/entry point without having to rely on a tow. Looks like, if I am understanding this right , it would work out in a emergency.
