Onyx Type IV Boat Cushion, Blue Throwable Flotation Cushion, USCG Approved

The Onyx Type IV Boat Cushion is a throwable flotation cushion designed to be grasped and held by a person in the water until rescued; it is not worn like a life jacket. It is USCG approved and UL listed, and it complies with federal requirements on all kayaks, canoes, and boats less than 16 feet. The cushion is built with a durable nylon shell and polyester fabric surrounding lightweight, durable flotation foam, giving it buoyancy while keeping it easy to stow aboard. Webbing grab straps are sewn onto the cushion, giving a rescuer something to hold onto when throwing the cushion to a person in the water, and the same straps double as carry handles for storage or transport. Finished in blue, the cushion measures 15 inches x 16 inches x 2.5 inches and weighs 1.8 pounds, keeping it lightweight enough to keep on hand and toss quickly in an emergency. It is a straightforward, no-maintenance piece of required safety gear for small boats, kayaks, and canoes, and it stores flat on a seat, deck, or gunwale within easy reach.
