Re: What to do with old life raft?
Don't just pull the ripcord. If it's operational, you'll need a new gas cylinder! Take it to a service centre for assessment. Cost effective life expectancy is about 12 years according to my liferaft guy.

Don't skimp on emergency equipment, it may be the only thing between you and the guy upstairs.
