I have purchased multiple ACR EPIRBS in the past and fortunately have never had to activate one! Because of the five year battery life on the ACR battery, I need to either replace the battery or replace the unit. Because they charge so much for the battery, I find the best return on investment is to purchase a newer, more modern unit. This time I am changing from ACR to Ocean Signal. The three factors I used for my decision was price (roughly $40 less), 12 watts of transmit power (ACR is about half the watts), and Ocean Signal's 10 year battery life (ACR batteries are replaced every five years). This seems like a no brainer to me.

I am retired USCG, Aviation, been on many searches for overdues. Here is a hint, the ones with an EPIRB ALWAYS came home to live another day. 90% of our searches we came back empty handed after 3 days of searches. BTW all you get is 3 days. I we could not find you in that time you are fishfood. What's your life and your family's lives worth?

Luckily I haven't had to actually use it out in the ocean. I can only say that to set up online and register was really easy. mounted into my boat, screws supplied were Stainless steel so that's a bonus, so far so good

Cannot give it any other rating - I hope I never have to use it though. Ocean Signal are a quality product that has great after sales support in Victoria - including battery replacement. BCF once again had this item in stock at a competitive price.
I would like to clear something up. I have reported a couple of reviews not because they were offensive, but they could have been misleading and as this a safety item I have to say, YES IT DOES have a lanyard!! the entire rubber section comes off. grab the tab and pull the rubber off, it is already attached to a chord. You can slip it around your wrist or tie it to a raft or floatation device. It is in the instructions, but I have to admit it isn't really clear.
New boat and looked at getting a Epirb after a talk with a Maritime officer.Looked around for best deal and again BCF had the best pricing.For the cost it was a no brainer.Can use in boat or when travelling.How does it preform, never want to find out.
Good item just expensive.Because they are an necessary item you have to have the price is over the top.I think mandatory items should be subsidised .This way if lives are so special to save it will make it easier for low income family's to afford the items.
The OCEAN Signal RescueME EPIRB with GPS is tiny!. Ben small and compact its easily mounted into anpossition that accessible but out of the way. Its easy to release if from its bracket and the overall design has been well thought out EXCEPT it doesn't come with a tethering line to be able to secure it to yourself or a raft in the even of a vessel sinking.Clearly i have not and hope to never test this item. It does have a mounting point for some string.Would I buy it again, ABSBSOLUTELY!! I like its desight and compact size.
Whilst I hope I never have to use it in an emergency on the water, this epirb looks to be very straightforward to activate which one of my buying criteria. It conforms to all standards and is also compact and easy to attach to the boat. The ten year battery life makes it a value for money purchase.
When I asked for a gps epirb i was expecting a gme unit and didnt know anything about ocean signal. But fears were not warranted as its a very reputable product worldwide, not just australia. Its definately fit for purpose and included everything to easily register the product online. If the need arose, i wouldnt hesitate to buy the same product again
