Kwik Tek W-2 Whistle with Floating Lanyard, Red and Black

The Kwik Tek W-2 is a high-pitch, pealess safety whistle designed for boaters and personal watercraft (PWC) riders. An audible signal device is required on boats and personal watercraft in most states, and this whistle is a compact, reliable way to meet that requirement. It comes on a floating lanyard, so if it is dropped in the water it stays on the surface instead of sinking, and the lanyard doubles as a floating key chain for added convenience on the dock or at the launch.

The pealess design means there is no rolling cork ball inside to jam or stick after repeated exposure to water, so the whistle produces a clear, high-pitch audible signal on demand. It clips easily onto a life jacket or a safety lanyard, keeping it within reach when seconds matter. Finished in a red and black color scheme, the W-2 is sized to be unobtrusive while still being easy to locate in a gear bag or PFD pocket. This is a straightforward, no-frills safety accessory suited to boat owners, PWC riders, and anyone who needs to keep a compliant signaling device on board.
