What does your man over board equipment require so it will work when you need it?
Not all man overboard systems require maintenance, however as is the case with all marine safety equipment, visual checks remain important. As an authorized service station for most brands of inflatable systems, we inspect the unit and check its cylinders for corrosion and ensure the lights are operational and/or in date.
Those units that need to be serviced are inspected to insure that the horseshoe and the pylon, the main components, will inflate and stay inflated. We pressure test each unit per manufacturer’s specifications. Although rare, if the equipment is not serviced regularly, UV damage can occur. We assure the water-activated, lithium-powered, flashing strobe is in date and operates (every five years the assembly needs to be replaced). The CO2 cylinders also need inspection. Although cylinders last indefinitely, rust and corrosion can occur. There are lifting points on the units that can also corrode. The sea anchor needs to be inspected for any tears or corrosion as well.
