I posted the press release about the new ACR AquaLink PLBs last month. I don’t own a PLB yet, but this one has just about tipped the balance for me. I’m not likely to carry an EPIRB on my little boat, but I can imagine packing one of these along while voyaging, and also while exploring ashore.

I just got a link to this video about it, which is pretty helpful, especially if you’re not really sure what a PLB is and how they work.

Sure, there are less expensive PLBs on the market, but ACR has been building all kinds of marine safety gear for a LONG time, and enjoys an enviable reputation for quality, service, and reliability.

For those of you who will attend the big Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, you can see the AquaLink PLB, along with the newly released GlobalFix PRO EPIRB, at Booth #441-442 during the course of the show.
