Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Man Overboard buoy?
A Man Overboard (MOB) buoy is a flotation device specifically designed to be thrown to a person in the water to keep them afloat until they can be recovered. It often includes a light, reflective tape, and a grab line.
Is this MOB buoy SOLAS-approved?
Yes, the buoy is designed to meet the requirements of SOLAS Chapter II-1 Regulation 7.2 and US Coast Guard carriage requirements for vessels operating in international waters. Always check your local regulations for required equipment.
How does the water-activated light work?
The light is triggered when the sensor comes into contact with water. It automatically switches on upon immersion and provides continuous light for up to 48 hours, ensuring the casualty is visible at night.
Can I replace the light battery?
