How to rearm your automatic PFD

In this video I will rearm my Onyx A/M 24 with the Onyx Outdoor Automatic/Manual CO2 Rearming Kit that I purchased at my local Academy.

Good video. Was fumbling with the bobbin, but got it back together. Thanks.

Very cool backyard. I am jealous!!

Haha thanks!

[@stonedelta9361]

Great job buddy

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you for the positive feedback! I appreciate it!

[@forrestallison1879]

If anyone else finds the bobin hard to get out, I just rinsed it with water which dissolved the rest of the material and made it easy to get out.

[@davidredmon4930]

One thing not mentioned the A/M 24 (Automatic / Manual) has a built in kit inside a pocket near the CO2 cylinder. It contains a yellow plastic cap that converts the vest to Manual Pull only. You unscrew the bottom Bobbin assembly , replace with the Manual plastic cap and the vest will only inflate when the Red lever is pulled. Great for paddle boarding , wake boarding, surfing or water activities where you plan on getting wet, and not being knocked unconscious.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Yessir! This is something I should have mentioned! Thanks for the info

[@jorgeespinoza7086]

I lost my plastic cap after tipping over in my kayak . Does that plastic cap come with the service kit?

[@mangutlele6969]

What is that white-ring called? I am searching that for my lalizas sigma

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Salt bobbin

[@jimkaminski871]

Does anyone have any idea how long a cartridge last? I’ve had my Mustang life jacket 12 years ago and it’s never been deployed. I was just curious if they needed changed after so long whether it was deployed or not.
Thanks

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

It shouldn't need replaced but you can take the bobbin out and examine it to make sure the salt tablet is still in tact! Better safe than sorry!

[@stephengillihan7568]

Replace it after you test it. Let us know if it was still good.

[@carnut3856]

Onyx web site says 3 years. Mine is 5 years old and stored in outdoor shed w/gear , it inflated this summer on it's own.

[@yakityakteriw6774]

Same shit happened to me. I learned it the hard way

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I always learn things the hard way 😆

[@connieellis8856]

How do I get the air out

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Deflate the jacket by turning the inflation tube cap upside down and pressing the one way valve to release all of the air.

[@lbc562azbuddy]

I wonder how it went off

[@larrysee7306]

Excessive humidity or moisture will dissolve the “bobbin” which is just a salt wafer. That lets the spring drive a pin into the top of the CO2 cartridge

[@connieellis8856]

How do I deflate the jacket

[@floridaboy407]

Take the black cap off of red deflation tube. Flip cap upside down and deflate it, rearm it then pack it!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

thanks man!

[@jamesturnage9758]

summer time humidity will activate these devices when stored in garages after a few seasons

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I didn't even think about that! Thanks for tuning in!
