-->Mounting Options
Mount Near Helm
Best practice dan buoy use requires quick deployment to MOB. To facilitate quick deployment, mount the dan buoy near the helm.
Mount on Bulkhead
Bulkhead mounting is a great choice if your vessel’s circumstances permit. Mount the dan buoy where it is easily accessible on a moment's notice when you need to throw the dan buoy to a man overboard. On a pilothouse motor yacht, this might be just inside the wheelhouse. On a commercial fishing boat, you might locate the Dan Bag on the aft end of the house in the cockpit area. You are welcome to contact us to discuss your mounting plans.
Mount on Railing
If stanchion, pulpit, or rail mounting suits your vessel better, use these rail mount brackets (sold individually). (SKU RM100B - not included with Dan Bag - suits ⅞″ to 1″ diameter tubing; see adjacent image).
