Haoie Posted July 6, 2015 #51 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does the light on the lifejacket/lifesaver automatically activate upon hitting water? Then throwing one over is meant to act as a waypoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted July 6, 2015 #52 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does the light on the lifejacket/lifesaver automatically activate upon hitting water? Then throwing one over is meant to act as a waypoint? I am pretty sure that it does - I am trying to remember the details from the lifeboat drill.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that it does - I am trying to remember the details from the lifeboat drill.:) Yes the light on the lifejacket is activated by water. We were once tendered ashore in the pouring rain and the lights on the lfejackets under the seats were coming on with the moisture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we had a similar situation, they are similar to the Aeroplane jackets as they are fitted with a light and whistle except they do not need inflating.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big RING type things you see affixed to the ships rails are a lot more sophisticated than the life jacket you wear and the epirb will really help relocation. This is what I was talking about throwing over board. Regards John Edited July 7, 2015 by john watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
