Re: Cost of Liferaft Servicing
|
just been through this myself.... approx cost £95 + VAT for service then the additional bits inside that need replacing flares / water / sea sicktablets etc.... then it depends on the condition of the raft you may need some repairs to it. on average a basic service will set you back £200 - £250 from maybe Ronhale marine in portsmouth - ocean safety in southampton - mayday marine also in portsmouth.
I decided to ebay mine in the end got £250 for it, it was 2 years out of service. I bought a new seago offshore to replace it for what it would cost me to get the old one serviced
but it depends on the spec of your old raft - most rafts tend to have a 12 year lifespan nowadays, so may be an idea to start thinking about a new one soon.
