Patented rod system allows release of the beacon from a Category I bracket when submerged in water between 1.5 - 4 meters (4.9 - 13.1 feet).  Designed to work with Sea Shelter™, Sea Shelter™2 and Sea Shelter™3 brackets

A patented rod system does not rely on a battery, blade or pyrotechnic device to release the beacon. This advantage allows for a quick, seamless and reliable release in an emergency.

Note that this is a date-stamped product and must be replaced every 2 years from the date of installation or 4 years from the date of manufacture.

Q: The date on my HydroFix™ Release Unit is not marked. What do I do?

The HydroFix™ should be marked by the owner at the time of installation with an indelible ink pen. The HydroFix™ Release Unit is good three years from the date of manufacture (which is imprinted on the bottom of the HydroFix?) or 2 years from the date of installation.

See the example below:  MFG.0611 means the HRU was made June (06) of 2011.  Thus this unit will need to be replaced 2 years from the date installed or in June of 2014.
