In this video we'll show you how to service a life jacket. While you're here why not take a look at our other video's, we are currently refitting a 1970s sailboat called Squires Lady.
This video is just for entertainment purposes only and for fun. I hold no responsibility for anybody's lifejackets should you choose to follow the instructions on this video.

Thanks for video I would have been concerned about introducing moisture into the bladder too. While I like the convince of these self inflating jackets we have found that using them for active small boat sailing where you might fall in the water they can make it almost impossible for you to self rescue yourself . They have so much buoyancy you cannot swim on you front or do just about anything. So if falling in the water is part of your possible sailing experience I would go with a fixed inflation or foam filled type PFD. Cheers Warren

It occurs to me that if you are going to replace the cylinder you might as well use it to inflate. I don't think you could over inflate anyway as there should be a built in pressure release valve to vent excess CO2 on inflation... Anyway love your down to earth vids.

How do i get the indicator back to green after the gas has been been fired? Its currently red.

Hi, Nice and clear. Do you not need to remove the green pin, gas and auto trigger to ensure the level pin mechansim is free and working?

Yes, as long as the little green indicators are still there

@@sailingvolupia thank you! Will the bobbin be affected if i just want to test the manual inflation by pulling the cord (on land just to inspect)? Thank you
