EPIRB hire

Hi Mutua. Just Google. There are many out there. You could try Parks & Wildlife in your area. See Link below.

www.parks.tas.gov.au › Home › Recreation › Great Walks

EPIRBs are cheaper than you think. My GME MT400 EPIRB costs $299 at Whitworths, and you register it with the Govt site and over the internet, update your location etc. Whitworths link.

Hi mutua

See my post above, and how much money do you put on your loved ones lives.

We will spend thousands on our "toys", yet do not want to spend a few hundred dollars that could save your life.


Please think twice about the safety of yourself and your family.




Cheers

Hi Mutua

I have a GME ACCUSAT PLB or epirb
I have as yet not used mine and hope I never have to.

Its like insurance on you Tug and Rig
What does that cost??

I look at mine as the best insurance I am able to buy.
I have 3 people on my emergency list to be contacted if I ever have to set it off.
they will always know where I am and as well the govt web site allows you to ad comments as to where you may be for any period of time.
My next outing is an off shore race from Adelaide to Pt Lincoln.
Even have that comment in there.


For the sake of the 2 billy lids and the trouble and strife I think buying one is a great investment.

Have you considered hiring a sat phone instead? It may be of better value to you

Mutua,

Wherabouts are you and where, when and how long do you need it for ?

Hi mutua,

Just looked on goggle to hire they range from $5 a day or between $40 - $88 per week, depending where you get them. just goggle epirp hire.

Buy the time you do that you may as well buy one and then you have it all the time.

It is one bit of equipment that you never want to use, but it is nice to have in case!!!
