Does anyone have any suggestions on makes and models of EPRIB's. Should I get one that is auto or manual? I'm figuring that one with a GPS is worth the money for quick response.

Thanks Jake

I dont think you can spend too much money on an EPIRB. I have seen them SAVE LIVES. They are definitely worth every penny!

Mc Murdo or ACR both are nice.I like Manual deploy,the automatic ones Get stuck in stuff and can go down with the boat.
