Kent White Throwable Boat Cushion, USCG-Approved Type IV PFD, Part 110200-702-999-12

The Kent White Throwable Boat Cushion (part number 110200-702-999-12) is a USCG-approved Type IV personal flotation device designed to be thrown to a person in the water and grasped or held until they are rescued. Unlike a wearable PFD, a Type IV throwable cushion is not worn on the body; it is stowed on board and tossed overboard in an emergency, making it a required piece of safety equipment on many boats, kayaks, and canoes.

The cushion features a nylon cover for abrasion resistance and a polypropylene fill that provides buoyancy without absorbing water, so it stays ready to grab even after repeated exposure to spray and rain. It measures 15 inches by 16 inches by 2.5 inches, a size designed to be easy to grip and throw a distance in an emergency, and it is finished in white for high visibility on deck and in the water.

This cushion is USCG approved and UL listed, and it complies with federal requirements for boats under 16 feet, kayaks, and canoes that call for a Type IV throwable device on board. Keep it stowed in an easily accessible location, such as a cockpit locker or seat back, so it can be reached and thrown quickly if someone goes overboard.
