| That’s a good point! Since the life raft in question is not designed for float-free operation, using the hydrostatic release doesn’t apply here. In manual launch situations like this, cutting the container securing straps (Option A) would make the most sense to release the raft safely and effectively. Always important to understand the equipment setup and release mechanism onboard.click here for more info https://sizlermenu.com/ |

| the hydrostatic release is designed for the life raft to FLOAT FREE of the ship in case the ship sinks. if the life raft is not designed for float free operations I would assume it does NOT have a hydrostatic release on it. |
