POLLIWOGG Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Another thing that came to my attention at a boat inspectors coarse was that a life jacket or pfc that has affiliation patches like OFAH and such sewn on it is no longer a legal item.

POLLIWOGG Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 The only thing I could think of would be they suspect someone might hide a repair job with an affiliation patch or breach the waterproofing if there is any. Some jackets floatation material would be sealed in plastic bags , maybe they think these could get puntured. I can only guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Don't know for sure, but I wouldn't think your allowed to physically alter any safety device, are you ?? I'd think it could void any warranty claims, plus an insurance company could have something to say if anything happened and a safety device didn't work as it's sposed to, and they found it had been somehow altered ??
