What is an EPIRB: This stands for emergency position indicating radio beacon. This is a tool used on boats to alert the coast guard that you are vessel has sunk. Usually, this EPIRB is placed at the highest most unobstructed area on the vessel so when the vessel sinks, it is able to pop out of its hydrostatic release and float to send the signal of your location, vessel, and time. #howtoboating #howto #boating #boat #yachting #yacht #epirb #transit #captain #emergency | How to boating
