Having just replaced the pads on my clubs AED I wonder if anyone keeps one onboard. They cost about a grand new and require battery and pad replacement for about $100 each every 5 or more years depending on brand.
But they are so easy to use. Ma and Pa Kettle would have 90% chance of success in the first minute of a cardiac arrest. Not so after five minutes. I can't believe first responders could arrive in less than 10 minutes when away from the dock. In this regard, I do not see a difference between coastal cruiser and ocean voyager.
Would like to hear others thoughts and experiences.
