STORING THE LIFERAFT ON BOARD
CRADLES FOR
LIFERAFTS
A cradle makes for easy mounting on the deck, the pushpit or the transom (according to model). Each cradle can be padlocked to prevent theft (in that case, remember to unlock before casting off). 3 types of cradles are available, offering different mounting possibilities. If you decide to mount a hydrostatic release unit which triggers the inflation of the
marine raft automatically, you must go for the deck-mount cradle with straps.
