New Lifejacket Re-arming Kits
date of article: 01 / 03 / 2009
So you've fallen in the water and – thankfully – your lifejacket has worked but now what? You're a long way from home and a lifejacket with an empty CO² cylinder is useless.
An inexpensive solution has just become available from marine safety specialists SeaSafe Systems Ltd – a DIY lifejacket re-arming kit. Keep one on board and you have peace of mind.
SeaSafe say they will fit virtually all proprietary makes of lifejackets and certainly all the popular brands. They are sold in four versions: 33g manual, 33g automatic, 38g manual and 38g automatic. Prices are just £7.95 for the 33g manual and £12.95 for the 33g automatic with both of the 38g versions only £1 more.
Sold in blister packs they come with simple and clear instructions on how you take out the used CO² cylinder and refit the new one along with the water-sensing cartridge if it's the automatic version.
SeaSafe advise that in any event you should always get your lifejacket serviced annually by an approved service centre – a small price to pay to ensure that your lifejacket is in proper working order – fairly important given that it might just save your life one day.
As with all SeaSafe clothing and equipment, the new re-arming kits can be purchased directly from them. Buy online at www.seasafe.co.uk or call SeaSafe on: 01983 282388.
