Ocean Signal MOB1 rescueME AIS Man Overboard Beacon with GPS, DSC and Automatic Lifejacket Activation (740S-01551)

The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 provides immediate local man-overboard alerting to compatible AIS-equipped boats, using GPS position updates to help the crew find a person who has fallen overboard. Designed for integration into a compatible inflatable lifejacket, it can activate automatically as the jacket inflates or be activated manually. An integrated strobe provides additional visual assistance during recovery.
