On the "Emotional Resc ue" #303, we all wear West Marine automatics with 
built-in harness. We have added a Storm whistle and a strobe light. If the 
plastic wrapping is covering the CO2 cartridge within the harness it has 
never gone off when hit with a wave or rain.

Practical Sailor magazine, Oct. 1, 2001 issue discusses all types of pfd's. 
The letters to the editors in the Feb. 1, 2001 issue discusses some of the 
things to CONTINUALLY check for. It seems that vibration from putting on and 
taking the vest off can loosen the co2 cartridge sufficiently so that the pin 
does not pierce the catridge sufficiently to fire it. Also watch the 
stitching on the harness. "W" type is best ; the usual "X" has some 
weaknesses. It's all in the articles. Ed. Schroeder
