Life Raft Service

We are a USCG approved life raft service center. We service commercial and leisure life rafts. Give us a call if your raft is out of date. You want to be prepared, especially in these colder temperatures.

Above you see  pictures of a Zodiac FC420 Military Professional Inflatable boat. This boat is 13'9" when inflated. Below you will see how versatile and easy to transport these boats can be, we packed 2 of them into a Honda Odyssey Mini Van using the storage space and area where the third row would be.  We are not transporting motors for these 2 boats so we are able to use the van.

There you have it, Inflatable boats even the big awesome military kind can go where no fiberglass boat has gone before.

Those same boats can be used for many applications below are some pretty cool examples!

PLB Talk

Again I will just talk some PLB talk. It is to important not to talk about them. PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) are such a great item for hunting, fishing, sailing, kayaking, and pretty much any other outdoor activity you can think of doing. 

Having a PLB could very well save your life. Today's PLBs are small, light weight, and very inexpensive compared to PLBs of the past. Check your facts about the PLB you are looking to purchase and remember the difference between a PLB and a personal signaling or tracking device will be the 406 MHz Signal. A true PLB that is intended to be a life saving device is FCC approved to operate on the 406MHz signal, requires a minimum operating life of 24 hours and is registered with NOAA. 

The 406MHz signal is internationally recognized for land and sea, monitored by a world wide coalition of rescue authorities and transmits to the COSPAS/SARSAT satellites. 

The battery transmits for 24 hours as laid out by the rescue authorities and the FCC before approval can be granted to be a PLB.

Registering with NOAA allows for the best information to start a search and contact your emergency contacts as well as knowing who the authorities are looking for. If you are a boater they even ask for a boat description.
I hope you have found the following information helpful. You may visit Triad Marine's Web Store for great PLBs and pricing information.
