When you're fishing alone, your safety depends on more than just experience, it depends on preparation. Exposure Marine is proud to announce the launch of the OLAS Guardian Pro, a wireless man overboard (MOB) engine cut-off system developed specifically for solo commercial operators working from small vessels under 8 metres.
Built for the Realities of Working Alone at Sea
Inshore fishermen know the risks. If you fall overboard while working solo, the engine won’t stop and your boat could keep moving without you. The OLAS Guardian Pro is designed to cut the engine automatically the moment you go overboard, giving you a critical window to re-board or be rescued.
This isn’t just a safety upgrade — it’s a lifeline.
The Guardian Pro is ideally suited for:
-
Solo creelers
-
Rod-and-line fishermen
-
Netters and shellfish harvesters
-
Operators of open deck boats and catamarans under 8 metres
Whether you work from Newlyn, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Whitby, or anywhere in between - if you're fishing alone, this is a system designed with your safety in mind.
Get Up to 80% of the Cost Covered Through FaSS
Thanks to the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS), UK commercial fishers can now claim up to 80% of the cost of both the Guardian Pro system and its professional installation.
The Guardian Pro qualifies under the Health and Safety Improvements section of the grant, and applying is straightforward:
-
Request a quote for the system and installation
-
Submit your application to the MMO under the FaSS scheme
-
On approval, have the system installed by a local or recommended electrician
-
Claim back up to 80% of your total cost
The only requirement is that your total project cost must be over £650, including both product and installation.
For most fishermen, this means you’ll only be out-of-pocket by £120–£150 — a small price for a major step in safety.
Designed, Built and Supported in the UK
At Exposure Marine, we’re proud to support the UK’s fishing fleet with products that are designed, built, and supported right here in Britain.
Unlike other systems, the OLAS Guardian Pro was created with direct feedback from UK commercial fishermen. It's built to withstand harsh environments and to be easy to install, use, and maintain.
But the biggest difference? We’re here when you need us.
Whether it’s help during setup, choosing an installer, or troubleshooting months down the line, you’ll get direct access to our team with no call centers, no delays, and no overseas support barriers.

If you’re a UK-based solo commercial fisherman operating a vessel under 8 metres, the OLAS Guardian Pro could be the most important upgrade you make this year.
