This section describes the proper storage procedures for all Cruiser and Commander 2.0 life rafts.
Rafts packed in fabric valises should be stowed where they can be easily reached in an emergency.
Valise packed rafts can be kept on deck for short periods of time only but should be stowed in a
location where they are not continuously exposed to direct sunlight, weather, or water spray.
Rafts packed in hard containers are designed to be stowed on deck for long periods. Choose a location
where the raft is easily moved and thrown overboard in an emergency. The raft must be secured to
the deck to keep it from sliding. Secure the raft to a suitable liferaft cradle that is itself secured to the
deck.
All rafts should be stowed in a clean, dry, contaminant free area away from any heat source.
Contaminants such as petroleum solvents, fuel, grease from oil, and hydraulic fluids may have a
detrimental effect on the fabrics and consequently on the life and performance of the raft.
Storage temperatures range from +5°F to +150°F (-15°C to +65°C)
Refer to Owner’s Manual for corresponding storage details.
