Quick Deployment - Pull to Inflate, Again & Again
The CORD is rigged for manual inflation upon pulling the red handle on top. Once deployed, the unit stays attached to the boat, maintaining a connection between the victim and the vessel.
The CORD is intended to be used multiple times. The unit will be Self-serviceable with a 1-Year service interval.
Superior Flotation - 35 lbs. Buoyancy
