Inflatable Manual PFD Life Jackets Safety at Sea Crooked PilotHouse Mustang Survival life vest

Nice, I have two mustang M.I.T. 100 automatic and manual... it’s like I’m not wearing anything.

...great vid. i use the automatic, in case i'm unconscious when i hit the water..great info and stay safe. skipper..

Great vest! Great presentation!

Hi Capt... this is another great how-to-do-stuff video! The hot-knife melting slits for your equipment is a great idea, invented by you! ... Thank you!

I use manual inflation too, because i have a pilot house boat, if i ever capsize, i would not be able to escape if the vest automatically inflately.
Same reason helicopter pilots dont wear auto inflating secumar.

Safety vest / Life vest all need to be bright colors not dark gray/blue or black.These are hard to see .

Cap great video, don't want to weigh your vest down. Ever think about adding a lashing strobe to it....

Hello Captain you need to make a video trying both on the water, best test.....

Excelente capitán

stay safe cap

Yo said a key word here and it was ""IM ALONE IN THE BOAT"", I think it bettrr for you the automatic, just in case you get knocked over unconsious overboard this thing will inflate automatic and save your life. If it does inflate automatic and later you need to swim to the boat, just deflate it or take it off if you need 2. I have swimed with this type of vest and best way it to swim backwards, laying on your back, kicking feet and moving arms front to back

donde lo compraste capt

Good morning Capt, very informative regarding PFD. I’ll do the same. Hope to see you on the water soon. However stay safe in Florida!

I think by adding the electronics and cutting into the vest your voiding the warranty right ???

If you want the air cylinder not to rust, take it out and paint it with antirust paint. Works well and it dont do any harm. Best not to have any oils touching the vest or liner.

There goes your warranty. There is a sailing version of this vest it’s the exact same thing and has 2 D rings on it for securing things or yourself to a line. It’s from Mustang I have it.

Great video, Masked Marine Biologist/Handyman, although I am still waiting for the six hours video of the drone assembly.🙈

Saludos Capitan!!!! Excelente video en el salvavidas. Yo tengo 2 de el mismo que reemplazo para los kayaks. En mis años bregando con articulos y el salitre encontre que aplicandole Vaselina o petroleum jelly a las roscas o fitting del cilindro de CO2 evita la corrocion muy bien!!!!

Great video as always! The only thing the automatic vest are better if you would hit you head or become unconscious for some reason and fall in the water it would inflate by it' self , But I see your point also. You just have to pick what's best for you. Oh and I don't know if I would have stabbed your old vest, You could have keep it for a spare, But it was fun watching you do it! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍

I got to get 2 of those
Great tutorial video

cool deal

What will you do with the old vest?

Your videos are always full of useful information. Thanks for posting

Holaa Capt..nice Video finallly we saw u again....Hows there?

Great suggestions!!! Thanks

my kid & i have the jacket's...

The vest has MOLLE attachment points right above where you put your kill switch

The only downside to those vests are that they could lose air and thus not float anymore. It happened to 2 sherrifs who went overboard a few years back off the coast of Florida - they said it only lasted inflated about 45 minutes. You should have an orange life vest Type1 CG approved as well handy just in case for those long trips you take. If something happens you'll likely be floating out there for a few hours or more before help arrives.

Thanks for the info capt 👍🏾👍🏾

hi captain excellent i wouldn't recommend it to be used fir worst scenario you fall of the boat nconusue

meant unconscious

Muy buena info capitan.😊😊 voy a ordenar uno pa probarlo. Cuidese mucho! Gracias por los videos

Very good

Good evening Cap.
One more perfect update in your safe 🦺.. can you explain wat it that instrument you put the right side ? Supose it was a portatil GPS?
I have water proof vhf cobra. But the baterie is gone so a buy a Icon. Here coast 350 $

What model Garmin Satellite communicator do you use? Is it waterproof?

After you altered it… it’s no longer USCG approved.

Thanks for the video idea. That’s how I installed my frs radio on my wife’s and my kayak inflatable pfd.

What's with the covering up your face?

Thank you
❤

For the kind of boating Cap'n does - open ocean - I would prefer a lifejacket that incorporated a harness. In some circumstances, a harness with tether plus thoughtfully placed on-deck bails can add to on-deck safety, especially in rough or foul weather. FWIW I've never gone offshore without a harness/lifejacket combo and a tether at hand.
