SWITLIK STG-800010
Switlik MOM-8A Man Overboard Module
The MOM-8A is a completely self-contained system consisting of the canister (complete universal mounting hardware is included) with an inflatable horseshoe shaped buoyant device, inflatable locator pylon, a self-deploying sea anchor, packed and ready for instant deployment. The MOM unit is mounted on the stern pulpit either directly over the stern or on the port or starboard quarter depending on the boat's configuration. Located on the top of the canister is a Deployment Handle which, when pulled, opens the bottom of the canister and allows the inflatable devices to automatically inflate while falling into the water. Both inflatable devices are fully deployed and inflated within 7 to 10 seconds after deployment.
When inflated, the ballasted Locator Pylon has a 6 foot waterline height. Located on top of the Pylon is a water activated, lithium powered, steady-state light. The light can be seen nearly a nautical mile under normal night conditions. The Pylon has two SOLAS reflective panels to aid the vessels search. It is tethered to the inflatable horseshoe shaped buoyant device capable of supporting a 250 pound person with high freeboard. The horseshoe is placed under the arms and there is a quick connect adjustable belt for full encirclement. Attached to the horseshoe are two lifting straps with stainless steel 1" D rings. The lifting straps enable the person to be lifted aboard while remaining in the horseshoe. Also, tethered to the horseshoe is a 16" diameter, ballasted, self opening sea anchor to reduce downwind drift. The MOM-8A is a rugged and reliable system which, when properly maintained and serviced will provide boaters with the most advanced aid in the recovery of a person overboard.
