Manoverboard MK9
1Pages

The Manoverboard MK9 compact Lifebuoy marker produces dense orange smoke for 15 minutes and features two self contained, inversion switched, LED lights which far exceed SOLAS requirements. Ships are required to carry 2 markers, one mounted on each bridge wing with the brackets supplied and attached by line to a 4kg Lifebuoy. The signal is used to mark the position of a man overboard by day or night. It can be automatically deployed by releasing the attached lifebuoy, or manually activated. The Pains Wessex Buoysmoke MK9 Item No 9538350 is identical, except that it does not feature the lighting system, so is an orange smoke daytime marker only. • Day and night signal attached to 4kg lifebuoy and used in an emergency to mark the position of man overboard. • Provides 15 minutes of dense orange smoke. • Far exceeds SOLAS requirements of 2 hours at 2 candela for light output and duration. • Safe to use on petrol or oil covered water. • Lithium batteries sealed for life - no annual replacement. • Screw fit, inversion switched, LED light units. • Automatic or manual deployment. • Universal stainless steel mounting bracket.
