My 0.02....
For the amount of times I go offshore, I got the ACR plb.
The ACR has a floating pouch accessory for like 10 bucks.
Lay it on dash, clip it on your PDF or put somewhere it will be accessible or will be free to float to the top.
Pros: Small and portable. Works fine way offshore.
Cons: It is manually activated.
Either way its better than not having one at all, (which I did for many years). I have taken it on other boats too.
