EPIRB launcher
Anyone have any knowledge or experience with the hydrostatic release
module that is inside the case that launches the EPIRB when the boat is sinking? Specifically the one I am inquiring about is the Hammar model H20 E. It says on the top that you should replace after 2 years of "use", but what if the unit was manufactured longer than a few years prior? If the manufacture date is 2005, but has been deployed in the case for only one year since purchase - would the unit still be good and reliable? I am not familiar with the internal workings of these units, are they a form of explosive charge (making them more susceptible to failures over time similar to flares), or just spring loaded? Any other info I should know? Thanks Red |
