I intend to buy 2 or 3 in the future which begs the question....automatic or manual inflation. I have heard pro's and con's for both systems. Apologies if this highjacks the thread.
Greetings,
Thank you for the heads up Mr. ASD. Do you know if the Canadian made products are for sale in the USA? Meaning: should an American boater be concerned they may have purchased one of these devices?
I do not have ANY of the pfd's on board but I intend to buy 2 or 3 in the future which begs the question....automatic or manual inflation. I have heard pro's and con's for both systems. Apologies if this highjacks the thread.
.......Also they MUST be worn to meet USCG requirements. Unlike Type I, II, etc, it's not enough to simply have them on board. They must be on your person to satisfy the USCG PFD requirement. My wife was reprimanded during a CG boarding a few years ago when she went out to open the boarding gate for the CG crew and forgot to put hers on.
