Help with Mustang Survival Life Vests

Geo, you had better tie a string in your boat seat to set yours off,in case of a heart attack ,or should you bump your head!! Lets hope not.

Thanks for the responses. I have ordered the automatic re-arm kits.

I bought 2 manual/auto vests from Cabelas (the Guardian series). Nice vests but they discharged 2 times each in the storage compartment of the boat, perfectly dry. I sent them back and bought 3 regular dense foam filled vests, with money left over. They were nice to fish in, and took up less space, but at $20 a pop for a re-arm kit, I was sick of them quickly!

If I were to buy the inflatable type again, I would buy the ones that require either a cord yank or hydrostatic pressure (pressure resulting from being immersed in water) before discharging.

Geo,

Can you explain the task of making an auto-inflate manual only?

Thanks,

Steve
