it says, coast guard approved, but which pfd type is it?

We were told that we could use it for our granddaughter when we take her out on our boat on the lake. It keeps her head and arms up and out of the water, she also wears it when she swims in the pool. I don't know the specific type of pfd category.

This website: http://www.stearnsflotation.com/Puddle-Jumperreg-Deluxe-Kids-Life-Jacket-Elephant-P56.aspx#.U4P57mFOXIU states "Each Puddle Jumper® PFD is US Coast Guard-approved when worn on boats and can be used as a learn-to-swim aid." This website: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5214/pfdselection.asp states the three types.

I couldn't tell you, the DHS paddle I purchased is somewhat heavy although it is a very good defensive paddle. It is very fast but a little bit difficult to maneuver for a guy with a bad shoulder. Good luck to you on your purchase.

My boat has 6 "Scotty" mounts on the side rails and I have no problem moving my 4 "Scotty Power Lock Rod Holders" in and out of any of the holders. I'm pretty sure that they are manufacturer specific tho. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is made by a Marine equipment company that has to comply with nautical marine manufacturers code (NMMC). Check it out on their website.

It is the type that you have to wear on board if it is to be recognized by the US Coastguard. I believe a 3?

I specifically looked to see if the one I purchased was CGuard approved and it was. Most of the ones I checked out told you right upfront if they had this approval.

This is a type III device, BUT it must be worn at all times to qualify as an approved Coast Guard life vest. You can't just have it in the boat as with other flotation devices. Unless it is worn, it doesn't count.

Ditto to the other answers. The Coast Guard info is silk screened on the inside of the back panel.

Although this vest has been great for our 4 year old (now 5) I have no information that indicates that it is Coast Guard approved.

Yes the US Coast Guard does approve of this item. The number is 161. 012/68/0. No it does not do an automatic S OS. It is a flashing strobe

AutoSock FAQ is WRONG ! this was copied on April 12, 2014 Washington: Washington State Patrol Traction Devices approved http://www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/traction.htm * says : "For passenger cars the following alternative traction device is approved: Autosock Colorado: Colorado Chain Up Tips dated Sep 1, 2013 http://www.coloradodot.info/library/Brochures/ChainTips.pdf says: "Currently, the only Textile Traction Device ( TTD ) that has been approved for use on Colorado state highways is the AutoSock."

It is mfg. for rescue use. Would not recommend for recreational pool usage. We were satisfied, made well. Does have a rubbery finish which rubs brick on house when hung. We bring inside when heavy winds blow. To verify usage I suggest calling mfg. Have blessed day. :)

This is a U. S. Coast Guard approved Type V with Type lll performance, for Adults over 16 years of age and over 80 lb's. I do not know what USGS category it is. It has a minimum buoyancy of 22.5 lbs. when inflated. I would guess the weight to be about 1 pound. It is so comfortable and lightweight I don't even know it is on. I use it for kayaking and fishing, I am 5'-6" and go 240lbs, so I am no lightweight, best vest I ever bought.

I am not a salt water boater but do have some knowledge of your need. The radios do not have the maritime channels that I believe you would need to contact the Coast Guard. They work best as contact with another/other radio(s) tuned to matching frequencies. For that purpose, and within the limitations of technology, they work great.

The pf48f indicates a fleet size package of the filters, I believe. Same filter, just different quantity packaging.

This is a very stable boat. This boat, complimented with a PFD is a life saving combination.
