Look after your lifejacket

Don’t underestimate the importance of lifejacket servicing!

Inflatable life jackets are designed for single use and once inflated a number of components need to be replaced to ensure continued use. It is vital that you know how to do this properly if, for example, your lifejacket has been inflated for whatever reason when on voyage and there is no other option. But the question is that although replacement (rearming) kits are available, should you be servicing your lifejacket as a matter of routine, or is it a job that is best left to an approved service station that is qualified to service your particular lifejacket?
