HydroFix™ Hydrostatic Release Unit for Category I EPIRBs
Complete Your Purchase
Automatic release when the EPIRB is submerged.
The patented rod system is designed to automatically release a beacon from a Category I bracket when submerged in water between 4.9 and 13.1 feet (1.5 to 4 meters). It is compatible with Sea Shelter, Sea Shelter 2, and Sea Shelter 3 brackets, making it a reliable choice for various marine safety setups.
Unlike systems that rely on a battery, blade, or pyrotechnic device, this patented rod system operates without any powered or consumable components. This design ensures a quick, smooth, and dependable release in an emergency, giving you confidence that your beacon will activate when needed.
Please note that this is a date-stamped product and must be replaced every two years from the date of installation or every four years from the date of manufacture to maintain safety compliance and performance standards.
