Taylor Made Coast Guard Approved Life Ring

The color really stands out when hanging on the fence in the pool area. Great quality and a nice addition for the back yard.

Made well.

Very satisfied.

As expected. USCGA and identified as required

Couple things about these life rings. They deteriorate rapidly. Shame on Taylor for selling a marine grade item that is not suitable to be outdoors. The plastic rope handle disintegrated after just two summers from UV damage. The coating over the foam ring is a porous material that allows mold to penetrate and it's impossible to get it to look decent after its starts to mold. Some may say you should keep this item under cover to protect it from the weather. Well, on a boat you really can't do that. You don't have the storage room, and you need it available and on the rail in case of emergency. Would it really hurt you bottom line to make an item that lasts the typical 5 years a person owns a boat?

Important to have this on a boat if the unimaginable should happen. Also, great for practicing rescue maneuvers. Always good to be prepared for the unexpected. Happy with the product, bright color, & price. USCG approved was very important to us.

That’s all is Taylor Made. Looks great. Take me around 2 + hours to finish job . Using heating gun is helping only must be very careful and don’t over heat. Letter A on fabric I have been redoing by using marine grade silicone. U.S Coast Guard regulations say size , minimum and maximum weight, color, of throwing wheel , length and strength of support line and where on boat need to be. I don’t find reliable information how to attach support line to floating ring - for sure that’s must be done properly . These stainless steel carabiners not all have required strength. Different regulations specify strength of carabiners P.S. My friend who was a professional sailor (He visited all ports and marinas in Great Lakes) long ago told me that when I jump to swim from boat to the water always first throw floating ring with attached and secure to the boat line.

I don’t intend to use it as a life saving device. I bought it and stenciled my granddaughter’s name on it. We will hang it on our pontoon boat as decoration and our way of naming the boat after our granddaughter. We didn’t want to put any permanent lettering directly on our boat. This seemed like a nice and decorative solution.

Que no me agrado... Que no factura, solo eso.

Just received. Product looks good but cannot say on durability.

Muy bueno

It is a good size for the cockpit rail on our catalina 22.

Buen tamaño, buena calidad
