Liferaft Servicing
Seago Liferafts Warranty:
All Seago Liferafts have a 12 year warranty and should be serviced every three years until they are 12 years old. After the 12th year, the service interval is annual until it is 15 years old.
Failure to adhere to these servicing requirements will invalidate the manufacturer warranty.
Under no circumstances should you try to repair or service a Liferaft yourself.

Jimmy Green Marine are official Seago Liferaft Servicing Dealers.
Seago Yachting is the manufacturer and official service agent for all Seago liferafts and lifejackets.
Seago has highly trained, qualified, professional technicians working in a controlled liferaft servicing environment.
Your Seago liferaft is a technical piece of lifesaving equipment requiring strict adherence to the servicing schedule.
Seago Yachting Liferaft Service Plan:
- 75 point inspection plan, which ensures everything is checked when your liferaft is serviced
- 4 Point inflation, overpressure and relief valve test
- Verification of consumables and expiry date checks
- Firing head inspection and hermetic seal to ensure no salt water has entered the liferaft - Saltwater ingress increases the rate of corrosion and must be checked for at every inspection
- Thorough inspection for impact damage
N.B. If you purchase a liferaft second-hand, get it inspected and serviced by an approved Seago service agent for peace of mind.
