MOM 9 A Division of SWITLIK Parachute Company, Inc. Established 1920 MAN OVERBOARD MODULE MEETS ISAF STANDARDS* The most advanced Man Overboard Recovery System available. The MOM 9® is a completely self-contained system consisting of a rugged molded container and a complete universal mounting hardware assembly. Packed within the container is a one-man ballasted rescue raft, a ballasted locator pylon and two antidrift sea anchors. The MOM is designed to be mounted on the stern pulpit of sailboats, either over the transom or on the port or starboard quarters. A key feature of the MOM 9® is its' ability to be deployed rapidly by a single pull of the Deployment Handle on top of the case. In any person-overboard situation the most important task is to get the person a good flotation device as quickly as possible. Secondly, a means to locate the person must also be deployed. All STG Man Overboard Modules are designed to deploy the entire system with one simple action: no confusion and no wasted time! The one-man rescue raft provides a means to get the person out of the water and vastly improves the threat of rapid hypothermia. The raft also provides protection against predators. The raft has been redesigned to provide greater freeboard and enhanced stability with water ballast pockets. The raft now is equipped with self-contained lifting straps which permit the raft and the survivor to be lifted aboard together by means of a mast halyard. This is particularly beneficial if the person has been injured. Attached to the raft are two self-opening sea anchors which serve multiple purposes. They reduce downwind drift, provide bow quartering in heavy seas and the use of two, one on each end, and prevent the raft from being lifted off the water. The locator pylon is a ballasted device with lithium-powered, water activated, flashing light. It has an 8-hour life and an average sighting distance of .8 of a nautical mile under normal night conditions. The primary purpose of the light is for the person in the water to locate the system under nighttime conditions. There are two 16" long SOLAS lightreflective panels on the pylon. The inflatable units are tethered to one another with 1/4"wide braided floating line. The platform is constructed of coated nylon, heavy duty, 400D, high frequency welded by the latest technology. Inflation is through four STG patented breakaway CO2 valves, using 4 disposable cylinders. In addition to the regular oral valve for topping off, they have added a quick deflation gas plug. The MOM 9® mounts to the boat's stern rail on four points with traditional Survival Technologies Group mounting hardware (all included). The MOM 9® can be fully deployed in just 7 seconds after the call, "Man Overboard!"
