mounting EPIRB

[jcacchio]

Any suggestions on where to mount an EPIRB on a 2002 Gulfstream?

I prefer to keep mine in a ditch bag. I had one mounted to the wall under the helm in the past. You want it in a spot that is not in the way, but readily accessible if required.

what type of EPIRB do you have? is it a auto release , if auto, how deep does it have to sink to release? Will your boat sink that far? Most Grady will sink and just float a few feet below the surface with some part of it afloat, unless it burst into flames,then it will burn to. I would mount it close to were you can get to it when your jumping ship, next to the life raft or next to the helm.

The EPIRB is an ACR manual release.
