I keep one in my ditch bag as a backup to the boat mounted one. ( I also toss it in my bag when I fish on other peoples boats, just in case) I think they are a also good idea for small boats who don't have a boat mounted eprib. It is better than nothing. ACR is the way to go. They just don't have the battery life when fired up like the boat ones and they are manually fired up.

These are real epirbs unlike the spot devices.
