SmartFind E8/G8 Auto-Housing Option

A fully protective, spring-loaded enclosure, the auto-housing automatically deploys and activates the EPIRB when it is submerged between 1 – 4m. The SmartFind G8 auto-housing incorporate fixing points which ensure previous McMurdo auto-housing units can be retrofitted with minimum impact, when upgrading your vessels EPIRB.

Safe Operational EPIRB Life 

Seas of Solutions Safe Operational EPIRB Life guidance is that EPIRBs should be considered for decommissioning after 12-15 years, as this reduces the risk of environmental impact on beacon performance and ensures end users have beacons with the latest technology. As a result, the SmartFind G8 EPIRB range is supplied with a ten-year battery, but battery replacement kits have minimum five-year battery, to encourage regular professional checks of the units and reduce the likelihood of the beacons remaining on board vessels beyond the recommended operational life.

Please note: Certain McMurdo products require to be dispatched via courier due to product restrictions (Electronic Goods) both within the UK and internationally - therefore will not be liable for the Free Delivery Royal Mail policy unfortunately.
