Echomax Reflectors are constructed of a three stack array of laser cut aluminum enclosed in a polyethylene case. These high-performance reflectors have an increased cross section for a very consistent response. Their large amount of reflective material does not have the characteristic peaks and large nulls of the normal corner reflector due to the multiple corner stacked arrays and they produce a far higher average return than Luneberg lens reflectors. They can be mounted on a standing rig, halyard hoist or mast. Mounts sold separately. Exceed ISO 8729, RORC and ORC requirements.

The EM230 BR can be a direct replacement for the once popular Firdell Blipper, with no need to replace existing mast mount brackets. The EM305 PE is a good choice for commercial fishing boats, or large pleasure yachts.

• The EM230 models are ideal for sailing yachts, RIBs, motor cruisers and angling boats
• The EM305 is a good choice for large work boats and commercial fishing boats
• The EM230 Inflatable folds down to almost pocket size and is an ideal addition to an emergency grab bag
• Mounts sold separately
