Designed to work with the equipment sailors already trust.
MOB Lifesavers will fit all brands and models of lifejacket. And sailors can fit what they like to their own lifejackets. But if someone is to sell a brand new lifejacket with an MOB Lifesaver then to maintain the warranty on the lifejacket that model needs to have been tested and approved for the inclusion of an MOB Lifesaver.
MOB Lifesavers have been conformity tested with lifejackets from Spinlock, SeaSafe, Baltic, Crewsaver and Mustang.
Start With the Right Attachment Point
The MOB Lifesaver must be attached to the lifting becket (lifting loop) – the strong piece of webbing sewn into the lifejacket harness, often marked “Lift Here”.
Do not attach it to a zip, buckle or other convenient point on the jacket. If you are unsure where the lifting becket is, check with the lifejacket manufacturer or a qualified lifejacket service centre.
Attach It With a Strap Hitch
Current MOB Lifesavers are supplied with the end of the line protruding from the bottom of the pouch. Pass this loop through the lifting becket, then pass the entire Lifesaver – pouch, line and handle — through the loop and pull tight to form a strap hitch.
The Lifesaver is now securely connected to the lifejacket’s lifting becket.
Keep It Ready on the Inflated Lifejacket
The standard setup is for the Lifesaver to remain in its pouch on top of the inflated bladder, ready for the rescuer to grab.
The pouch can be hung from the oral inflation tube or attached to the bladder using the adhesive backing where supplied. If there is no adhesive backing, a suitable short strip of Velcro can be used to retain the pouch.
Retained or Free-Floating
By default, the Lifesaver can remain in its pouch on the inflated bladder. Alternatively, if you want it to fly out and float free, simply remove it from the pouch.
Whichever option you choose, the aim is the same: when the lifejacket inflates, the Lifesaver provides the rescuer with something they can grab from the boat.
Check it. Tag it. Be Ready.
Once fitted, check that the Lifesaver is securely attached to the lifting becket and positioned correctly.
Finally, attach the Lifesaver Fitted tag to a convenient point on the lifejacket, such as a zip, buckle or suitable D-ring.
The Lifesaver is now securely connected to the lifejacket’s lifting becket.
