Fwiw,,, I have keep a class 1 epirb mounted to the boat and a plb in my ditch bag ( among lot of other struff). Its nice to have a plb because you can take you if you if you join a friend. I think a lotnof people have the misconception that... Well I don't go offshore much so I do not need a locating device. The fact is it can be a life saving device relatively inshore as well. Last season a boat picked up 3 guys hanging on to a cooler who being pulled out past gay head...they were in the water like 8 hours. (boat prop got hung up on pot warp or something, went stern to waves, swamped). This is one of those cases wherr anything is better than nothing and more is better,
