The ONLY time I ever had an automatic fire was being stuck on the bow of a boat for 30 minutes (repairs) going across the gulfstream in a blow and being submerged up to my neck every 2-3 minutes.
Needless to say I angrily slashes the crap out of those sospenders with my deck knife.
50 knot blow for 6 hours in big boarding seas, never fired.
so neither splashes nor rain will fire them.
i've got an extra bobbin and my sospenders need to be serviced this year so I think I'm gonna hop in the water with them on one of these days just to see exactly how long it takes for them to fire.
