GME’s Safety Expert, Tony Crooke, comments, “As a coastal nation, Aussies love their time on the water.
“3.5 million of us enjoy spending time boating every year, often in areas without mobile phone coverage. This is why having the right safety gear on the water is so important – it can be the defining factor in a rescue situation where every second counts.
“The MT605G is a game-changing new product for any Aussie looking to spend time on the water. It’s reliable, rugged, and packed with the kind of tech that gives you peace of mind when you need it most.”
The MT605G EPIRB is available now, with prices starting at RRP $470. Full stockist list available here.
